Specifications from the maker
Which part number is yours
One part number covers every truck here, so the choice comes down to the truck and its model year rather than to a part. Reese lists 44526 for the Nissan Frontier for 2005-2025 and for 2026, and each year range shows a 30-minute install, no drilling, and no exclusions or notes. The maker gives both year ranges the same ratings, and they match the ratings of Draw-Tite 75282. Reese lists no bed length or trim split for this hitch, so the checks are short. Confirm the listing says 44526, confirm it names the Nissan Frontier and your model year, and confirm the receiver opening is 2 inch square. One figure deserves a second look. Reese prints a 750 lb tongue weight at the 5,000 lb gross trailer weight, while CURT prints 500 lb for its own 5,000 lb Frontier hitch, 13241. Read the tongue weight line on the listing and compare it with your trailer's tongue load before you buy.
