Thanks for all of the good info. The salesman that sold me the QX60 said that I should go to a place that specializes in trailer hitch installs. That's the only reason that I didn't have it done there. I don't feel comfortable having a dealership try to install something that they don't feel good about. What to do? I do know that if I had ordered a QX60 with the hitch it is an additional $ 500.00. I don't know the difference between the 5 and $ 800.00 they charged you. I purchased the car from Bommarito in St.Louis, MO. I am not very happy with them because I called about pandora on my QX60 and he told me I didn't have the correct package for pandora on my car and also will not return my call.
If I could find a dealership that I was comfortable with to professionally install the hitch, I would do it. I was wondering if you could send me a picture of the hitch that you used to haul you trailer with.
thanks again.
The difference in price is the dealership labor to install the hitch, wiring harness and finisher. The hitch and parts only cost about $500. Keep in mind the service department at a dealership is completely different than their sales department -- they are literally under different management. Fortunately for you, there are two Infiniti dealerships in St Louis. If you don't like
BOMMARITO INFINITI, have the hitch installed at
PLAZA INFINITI. Call both service departments and have them quote you a price to have a hitch installed. Tell them what the other quotes and see if they will beat it. I had mine installed for $800. My dealership matched the lowest price quoted, and saved me a 30 minute drive. If they'd of said no, I would have driven the30 minutes.
You could also try a Nissan dealership. The hitch, wiring harness and finisher on the 2014-15 Pathfinder is identical to the QX60. See what they will install one for, then see if one of the two Infiniti dealerships will match it. If Bommarito or Plaza say no, have a Nissan dealer install it.
My 2 cents.
