Hidden Hitch 60873 Class I Receiver Trailer Hitch Review

Most every car I own I put a Hidden Hitch on. Most installations are very easy, since the manufacture has accommodated the installation of a hitch. Many times, all you have to do is... literally bot into preexisting holes, etc. that the manufacture has already put in. However, this hitch on the Altima required a more advanced or custom installation. If you had access to a repair garage type lift where you can get fully under the vehicle, installation would be tricky. however, just trying to do this on my garage floor made it very tricky.

First you have to remove the two mufflers, which again, with only inches of clearance to get my body under the car made it very difficult, the muffler clamps are on pretty good and trying to slide the muffler out of the rubber mounting, while sliding the pipe off the overlap where the clap held was very difficult. I had to remove another bolt at the "Y" or intersection where the dual exhaust intersects to give enough flexibility in the whole system to be able to slide the muffler off the pipe it clamps into.

If you can get though this, the car has no pre-marked holes in the frame to install to so you have to hold the hitch in place and try to mark where the holes need to be drilled. This would normally seem easy if it wasn't that the holes in the hitch end up behind the curved sheet metal heat shields for the muffler making they virtually invisible. You would have to really bend beyond getting back in place the heat shield way out of the way to reach. Since the holes you have to drill to mount the hitch are through the floor of the trunk, and with the heat shield in the way, the only way to drill the holes is from the trunk. I was able to measure on the trunk floor what I anticipated the first hole was, which I got right. Then you know where the second hole is because you can measure off the hitch and get that in the right place on the trunk floor for drilling.

Now you might be thinking, if the heat shield is in the way just to mark or drill the holes from the outside/bottom of the car, how do you get a wrench up there to hold the bolt/nut while fastening. Well with two swivel joint adapters and a long reach extension on my 3/8 socket wrench and bending the heat shield enough (but not so much you can't get back to proper position) I was able to get around the heat shield since it is round and opens up at the top where the nuts fasten to the bolts coming through from the trunk floor.

Putting the mufflers back on is a chore as well. Again, if you have access to a lift this might me a lot easier, but I was hoping it just bolted on like many of the others I have had.
