Hey there, neighbors, Kevin here with etrailer. And today, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver here on our 2025 Nissan Kicks. If you own a Nissan Kicks, then you know all too well that with this being such a smaller style SUV, there really isn't enough room for you to haul all of your cargo when you're going out on those adventures. Now, you could easily just throw a roof rack up there and haul a little bit of gear up there, but for the most part, that is gonna be a pretty expensive way of trying to get your cargo from point A to point B. And realistically, it's not always the easiest to try and throw up heavy objects up on top of your car when you can easily do it right here at the back of the vehicle with a trailer hitch receiver. Now, for bang for your buck, trailer hitch receiver is gonna give you a whole lot of other options here, 'cause not only are we having that cargo carrier to haul all of our items and it's at waist level, but it's also going to allow us to haul a bike rack or maybe even a small trailer. That way, we can take all of those items that we need to with us when we go out on our trips. So this trailer hitch receiver is gonna come with a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening, which is the most common when it comes to accessories. Now, the cross tube is completely hidden behind our fascia here, so it does have a nice professional look here, so that way, you don't see that ugly cross tube hanging down too low. But with that, if you are planning on towing a trailer and you got that trailer wiring, you are gonna wanna make sure that you pick up a long bracket. So in my install video for the wiring on this car that I did, there's a bend that I'm gonna put in that bracket just to have it get low enough, because our fascia is so tight up against the trailer hitch receiver here. There really isn't a lot for us to grip onto when we're trying to mount up that wiring. Aside from that though, we are going to want to take a few measurements, just because we want to know, you know, if I have a folding accessory, am I gonna be able to actually fold that up and not have it rub against my fascia here And then, also, how much clearance do I have from the ground That way, if I'm going into a decline and then it's gonna bottom out, I don't wanna have my accessory scrape the ground. So when we're looking at our hitch height, we're gonna be going from the ground up to the top of the inside edge of our receiver tube, which is putting us right at 14 5/8. So plenty of clearance. Typically, we wanna see about 12 inches of clearance from the ground. Otherwise, that's where you wanna start looking at some adapters to kinda raise that up a little bit higher. Now, for our clearance with our fascia, we're gonna measure out from the center of our hitch pin hole to the furthest point on our fascia, which is right around four inches. So if you look at your accessory and you measure from the closest point of that accessory when it's folded up to the center of the hitch pin hole on its shank, if you have more than five inches, you should be good to slap it in there and fold it right up and not have to worry about it rubbing against the fascia. Now, when we have our accessory in here, we wanna make sure that we have a 5/8 hitch pin to pass through and lock it into place. And you're gonna also need your clip to go along with it. Now, I'd highly recommend picking up one that is anti-rattle and also locking. That way, you don't have to ever worry about someone taking off with your equipment. And then, when it's time to tow a trailer, we wanna make sure that our safety chain hooks can actually meet into that safety chain loop. And with this, this is a pretty wide style loop. So whether you have an S-hook or a clevis style with the little latch on it, you should be good to go, 'cause there's plenty of space in here, there's nothing that's really gonna help bind that up. You should be all good to go. So with this trailer hitch, you're gonna have a 2,000 pound gross towing weight capacity, which is when you are pulling a trailer. And then for the tongue weight, that's that downward force onto the bottom of our hitch tube here, that's gonna be 200 pounds. So that's your cargo carriers and your bike racks. So you will wanna make sure that yo
