Ok, for those of you who bought the Xterra without a hotch and want to add one let me give you some help.

1.) Get the Class 3 hitch from your local dealer $136.00 with access step for the roof rack.

2.) You can't use the 4-pin flat wiring kit ($13.00). The connector does not fit the connecters on the 05 Xterra. Further more the connects on the truck are not hot (no power).

3.) I believe the way to go is to get the 7-pin wiring harness from courtesy nissan for $55. This kit includes a replay sub-harness that must make the connects in the rear of the truck hot (power). Once the 7-pin is installed you will need the 7-pin to 4-pin converter.

I hope this helps and saves you all time and trips going to Nissan for parts and harnesses.
