Does anyone know of a class 3 hitch I can put on my '95 Pathfinder that would NOT require drilling? I'm looking for the easiest method to put one one.

It seems a lot of brands require drilling for 95's and older, and the 96's and newer do not.

Any help would be great!

 

Ebay has some, but they don't specify if they require drilling.

 

I installed a class III hitch on my 95 Pathfinder around Dec 2002, after searching around for the best price.
I don't know if it still is, or if they can order it for you, but the best deal I found at the time was Agri Supply Company, (800) 345-0169

32679 EA 49
13095 NISSAN PATHFINDER
87-95 (NO DRILL) 2 & 4 DOOR
Class 3, 2"

When it arrived I found out it was from CURT Manufacturing Inc., # 13095. It was listed as "No Drill Application," but I soon discovered the bolts were too big for one of the holes in the frame, so it had to be enlarged.

The other issue was getting the bolts and support plates inside the frame. I used a dremel tool and enlarged a hole further up the frame into the shape of a bolt head so they would slide in. A long piece of wire with a spiral at one end that fit the bolts was included with the installation package that made it easy. Just put a plate on and a bolt in, fed the wire into the frame, then slid the plate down the wire into the frame, then maneuvered the bolt into the frame, and pulled the wire out the mounting hole and everything fell into place. I have been happy with it since day one and think that it has been and probably is one of the strongest parts on my truck (seven years newer than most of the rest).

Here is some of the rest of what I had in my notes:

Of course you could always check around locally with dealers/stores, etc. and I think one of, if not the original places for aftermarket Nissan Pathfinder parts was/is:
