From the research I did on your 2011 Nissan Rogue it looks like it has a 1,000 lb towing capacity. You should still check the owners manual of your vehicle to verify this.

The Curt hitch # C13204 that you referenced is a fit for your vehicle and has much higher capacities, but you would have to go by the lower rating of the vehicle as the overall capacity. I attachd an install video for you to check out as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56033 which is also a confirmed fit.
