#1 of 6 Nissan Quest 2011 Tow Package? by professora

Aug 10, 2011 (7:14 pm)

I have been trying to find an answer to how low the Nissan Quest 2011 tow package rides but local car salesman can't answer it since they haven't seen a tow package and are unwilling to call corporate.
 
I have an old Honda Odyssey with an after market tow package and I am wondering if the Nissan will be higher. We scrape sometimes with a bike rack attached and this would be a nice point in the Nissan's favor as we are looking at replacing the Honda.
 
Does anyone have the factory tow package? If so, could you please measure the bottom of the hitch off the ground?
 
Thanks!

Here's the best picture I could find:

it looks like it cuts into the bottom of the bumper. I do know the aftermarket hitch sits lower, just under the bumper. Another owner on a another Quest forum mentioned the aftermarket hitch does scrape the ground when going into driveways and the like.

I'm afraid I don't know about the dealer hitch as I couldn't find a Quest with one on it! Talk about low availability!
 
So I'm now trying to add a (non-dealer) trailer hitch to my Quest, and can't find anyone local who knows them.
 
If anyone has added a trailer hitch (dealer or not) to your 2011 Quest, please chime-in and tell us the specifics and how well it worked. Thanks!

#5 of 6 2011 Quest hitch installation by cutchy

Hitch installed at Dealership requires bumper removal and cutout. I believe it took 2 techs at least 2 hours. They also had not installed one before. Had it included in van purchase price. It has 9 inches of ground clearance with no loads. I use a 5 to 6" offset receiver to get trailer tongue up off ground. Hope this helps.

We have a dealer installed Nissan trailer hitch on our 2012 LE (same as 2011). The bottom of the hitch is flush with the bottom of the rear bumper. Clearance on a dealer installed Nissan hitch should not be a problem.
