Ok, I've been asking a lot of elementary questions lately, but whats the deal with the receivers on these vehicles.
I'm planning a camping trip and just bought an 06 pathy to pull my camper. I went and got a Reese hitch today and and it fits way too loose in my opinion. I've got a solid 1/8" play when pushed all the way to one side or up or down. The pin seems like its close to that as well.
I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but this thing rattles pretty bad just going over bumps without the trailer attached. I can't imagine the racket its gonna make when I hit the brakes with the trailer attached.
Did Nissan engineer their own receiver to different specs so you had to buy some special hitch, or whats the deal.
The hitch on my friends Ranger has virtually zero play in it. I have no idea what to do here, and wondering if they're all like this. I can't imagine how bad this thing would bounce if I had a bike rack on the back of this thing.
