4 receiver hitches fit, by the makers' own fit charts. Gross trailer weight ratings run from 5,000 to 5,000 lb; the truck's own tow rating is the limit.
The Nissan Frontier comes in three bed layouts across two cab styles. The King Cab bed and the Crew Cab Long Bed both measure 73.3 in on the floor, and the Crew Cab Standard Bed measures 59.5 in. The makers list the same hitches with the same conditions for the 2005-2021 trucks and the 2022-2026 trucks, so one answer covers both. All 4 hitches fit, with none carrying a condition and none ruled out. They are CURT 13241, Draw-Tite 75282, Reese Towpower 44526 and the Reese Towpower multi-fit 37137. Nissan lists a Class IV receiver hitch member as optional or an accessory on the Crew Cab and does not publish the opening size. The 2022-2026 trucks add a locking tailgate with dampened opening and closure assist, and the older trucks offer a spray-in bedliner and a Utili-track system.

Check price on AmazonCURT 13241 fits the 2005-2027 Nissan Frontier in all styles with no exclusions, and the 2009-2012 Suzuki Equator too, so one part covers both Frontier generations. Per CURT's guide it has a concealed main body, needs no drilling and is a Novice install. CURT 13842, 13841 and 13831 are for 2000-2004 Frontiers.
Draw-Tite 75282 fits the Frontier 2005-2025 and 2026 (listed separately), takes about 30 minutes and needs no drilling. It has no listed exclusions, and one part covers both Frontier generations.
Reese Towpower 44526 fits the Frontier 2005-2025 and 2026 (listed separately), takes about 30 minutes and needs no drilling. It has no listed exclusions, and its ratings match Draw-Tite 75282.
Reese Towpower 37137 is a multi-fit hitch for the Nissan Frontier 2005-2026 that takes about 60 minutes, requires drilling and has no exclusions. The same part also fits the Colorado and Canyon 2015-2022, Ranger and Tacoma, and its weight-distribution rating equals the 5,000 lb GTW.
All 4 are Class III hitches with a 2 in receiver opening and a 5,000 lb gross trailer weight rating, so the gross rating does not separate them. Tongue weight does. The Draw-Tite 75282 and Reese Towpower 44526 are rated for 750 lb. The CURT 13241 and the Reese Towpower multi-fit 37137 are rated for 500 lb. Every hitch tops out at 5,000 lb. The real split is install. CURT 13241, Draw-Tite 75282 and Reese Towpower 44526 are custom-fit and need no drilling. Draw-Tite and Reese Towpower list a 30 minute install for their custom parts. The multi-fit 37137 lists 60 minutes and drilling required, and the same part also lists the Colorado and Canyon 2015-2022, the Ranger and the Tacoma. Its weight-distribution rating equals its 5,000 lb gross rating. CURT rates its install as Novice difficulty. The factory options to know about are the Class IV receiver hitch member on the Crew Cab, whose opening size Nissan does not publish, and the spray-in bedliner and Utili-track system on the bed. The makers do not tie either one to a hitch condition.
None of the four is ruled out or carries a fit condition, and none is limited to one generation or one truck. The cautions come from the makers' notes. CURT lists the Frontier for 2005-2027 and also the 2009-2012 Suzuki Equator, with style All and no exclusion text. CURT 13842, 13841 and 13831 are 2000-2004 Frontier parts and are not covered here. Draw-Tite and Reese Towpower list 2005-2025 and 2026 as separate entries, so confirm which one your year falls in. Nissan does not publish the opening size of its optional Class IV receiver, so do not assume it matches the 2 in openings listed here. Before buying, check the part number, the cab style and bed, and whether you are willing to drill for the 37137.
The makers sell the same receiver hitches for every 2005-2026 Nissan Frontier, and the bed floor is the same length across those years.
