Product Description

All CURT hitches feature WeatherTite construction, which prevents rusting from the inside out by sealing the main body of the hitch. The receiver tube has an open back end to allow for easy cleaning and for dirt and moisture to pass through and not get trapped as is common with other brands of hitches. All CURT hitches come with mounting hardware and installation instructions. CURT is the only hitch company in the industry that mechanically de-scales all of our hitches before applying a thick powder coat finish, which is baked on for a high-gloss, smooth surface. CURT trailer hitches are simply the most attractive, most durable and toughest hitch on the market. You won’t find better quality and value anywhere!

Curt Manufacturing 13088 Class III Receiver Review

I purchased this for my brother's 2002 Nissan Pathfinder. After installing this and re-stroing my spare tire under the truck, we had some minor fitting issues; the spare tire was extrememly tight when storing. The trailer bar forces the spare tire to go back a little bit getting very close to what the service manual calls the "Panhard rod". If you have a R50, you should be able to see this rod just in front of your spare tire, just above the rear transaxle. I was worried that when going over bumps and such this might start bumping up against the panhard rod. Of course, I will say that occasional bumps to the panhard rod doesn't seen to be detrimental to the overall handling of the truck, but nonetheless, I like to do things right, and when things start rubbing or bumping up against each other, I feel that it's not necessarily "right". On my personal car, a 2001 Qx4 (same chasis), I have the Curt Manufacturing 13156 model, which is the round-tube counterpart to this hitch. When I removed my Curt hitch (Qx4) and installed it on my brother's Pathfinder, his spare tire went up just fine, snug against the hitch.
Snug against the hitch is different than bumping up against the panhard rod, as that is intergral to the suspension, whereas you can consider the hitch part of the frame.
So with that, i would suggest you go with the roundtube design rather than this square tube. At the time I purchased the roundtube, I chose it for design, now I'm glad I got it as I avoided this potential issue with the square tube design making a tight fit for the spare wheel.
I rated this 3stars, because it is functional, and I have no doubt that this hitch can perform up to it's specifications. If it weren't for the tight fit, I would have rated this a 5-star. So, if you either don't care about the fitment or you don't have a spare tire down there, then this is fine. Again, I can't say that the tight fitting of the spare will have any adverse effects on the panhard rod, but personally I don't like the idea of it possibly rubing against the panhard rod. I have no quality issues with this hitch whatsoever. Just fitting.
