Hidden Hitch Help
 

My mom used to have a 2004 Nissan Frontier. It got destroyed when our entire property flooded back when Florida got rapped again and again by hurricanes in 04 (she had it less than a year). Because the hitch didnt come with the truck we took it off (along with the fog lights and roll up bed cover) before geico hauled it off and gave it a salvage title. It has been sitting around the house since. I finally found all of the extra mounting hardware that came with it for other vehicles. The hitch number is 87528. I am wondering if this hitch will fit on my truck. My dad got a new Hurricane deck boat that weighs about 800lbs more than our old bayliner and I didnt really like towing the bayliner with my bumper hitch, however the boat just outside my trucks towing capacity so I figure I will be OK if I am careful, as long as I have a real class III hitch. Any help with a manual for this hitch number or information on whether or not it will fit will be appreciated. IIRC the box had a list of vehicles it would fit on that was pretty large and considering the Ranger and Frontier are in the same class I may just be in luck. I have a 2000 Mazda B3000 TL edition.

Thanks.

Have u tired to fit it up to the truck yet? Does it line up with the frame?

I was standing in waist deep water to take that pic and as you can see, the water had receded about a food before I got out to take pics. The frontier was parked in the same area because we were worried about trees, not floods. lol

When we got to it the water was level with the hood and inside it was just below the seats. We were hoping if we let it dry it would be OK so we towed it out with the trailblazer we had at the time, the TB is a beast with that I6 and 4.10 LSD.

Sort of, but that is what the other pieces are for. The spare gets in the way, though. But as with the nissan, it looks like if it does fit I will need to remove the bumper, spare, and spare shroud to put it on. I'd rather not dig that far into it to find it wont work. lol

I say ebay it and get a hitch made for your truck.

If we sell it my parents said they are keeping the money since it is theirs...:headache:

drop the spare for the install...i had to do that on both hitches i have installed. then just crank it back up after
