...did some pathfinders come without a receiver...??...when i reach under the bumper the crossmember is there but its just a hole seems like i had to weld in a receiver....so i went to the breakers(scrap yard) and got another crossmember with a hitch receiver...

i believe the hitch was standard on all U.S. models but im guessing it wasnt everywhere.

towing package is standard on north american models.
Also, the hitch offered in Euro and Aussie markets is much different, and you cannot use a WDH with it.

Why don't you take off that bumper finisher and see if you actually have a hitch receiver in your crossmember?

Hmm, was it easy to remove?
I recently bought a towing harness for mine, but the hitch hardware was so badly rusted that the threaded holes were stripped and I wasn't able to mount the harness bracket.
With that said, I may be in the junkyard market for one.

mine was easy to remove when i did the body lift. basically 6 bolts held it on.
That second pictures looks the same as the factory one thats on mine.

Cool, sounds good. I wont be too disappointing if I get lost. 6 bolts is 6 bolts, hopefully they're not annihilated.
From courtesy it's 175$. Found some decent prices for between 50-75$. These are from AZ/FL and one from TN. Not sure what type of rust TN gets but the former 2 seem like legit places.
