This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Nissan Rogue's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.
Features:
Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

Hitch is great!!!
Fairly easy to install, even for a 64 year, like me. Just had a little trouble with the bolt holes being rusty on drivers' side and passenger side had a plate I had to remove.
Quality product that appears to be well-made.
Shipping container could have been more sturdy (it busted through the box in three places).
Install instructions were simple but helpful (socket sizes to remove the tow hook bolts and install the tow hitch, extension, how to remove the plastic retainers).
Install was very easy and I didn't need to unhook the exhaust as suggested by the instructions. Only a small amount of trimming was necessary for the rock guard to fit around the hitch.

No issues one year on, still performing as expected, though I only use it for a bike rack.
For the most part I am very happy with this wiring kit. Assembly was easy and everything fit perfectly. However, I didn’t run the hot wire (black) to the battery. That would have made the installation much more difficult. I simply spliced in a 12 volt plug. When I use the trailer I just plug it into the receptacle in the rear of the car. I attached 2 photos of my hot lead. This option works great.
Great product, needed this quickly for a storage tow hitch we have for our Rogue. We would be traveling for the holidays and it wasn't difficult to install, just need right size tools and you're good to go, I did need to cut plastic on our Rogue in order to put back undercover flap. Not a concern for me. Shipping box was damaged though but product was fine. Great hitch!

Thats great to hear, Brandon. Where all did you travel to? We havent gotten hardly any snow yet this year. Were the roads ok for you? Happy New Year!
Straight ford easy to install. Looks great. But no mention of when reinstalling the side Panel, you have to cut it to get it to fit back in.But I am good with that.
Fantastic quality, looks great on vehicle and have towed over 50 times, way to go etrailer, home run on design and functionality

Excellent, it was easy to install, fit my Nissan Rogue perfectly. Purchased it to accommodate my bike rack.
Heavy built. Just going to put a cargo rack on it
Installed on 2018 Rogue. Easy install. Works well for my intended purposes. I use it for storage and transportation racks. It is a little off center, but I don't use it for towing.

2018 Nissan Rogue (not the Sport model). Perfect fit. Hidden well. Will order again from etrailer for my next car.
I use a longer ball mount to ensure trailer clears the bumper. For the electrical I purchased the Nissan wiring harness and cut the end off instead of going through the floor of the car (not a good idea in my opinion). Instead I used the connector portion that came from etrailer and hang it out the hatch when needed (also avoids the weather wear).

Perfect. Ive used it several times pulling a 5x8 trailer. Still 5 stars!
Excellent product; fit my 2019 Rogue exactly as described in the very helpful video; had no problem installing the hitch which took about 30 minutes (the holes lined up perfectly and I didn't even have to jack up the car or put it on a lift); especially satisfied with the expeditious delivery which took about 4 days. I plan to use it with the Swagman XC 2-bike rack platform style that I ordered from etrailer to carry my wife's and my bikes on vacation trips.

Works out great. Im very satisfied with both the receiver & the rack.
Excuse the dark picture but I installed the hitch by myself as soon as I got home when I saw that it had been delivered. Hitch receiver is very well made and high quality. Everything aligned perfectly and it looks awesome installed. The only thing visible is the receiver tube. Absolutely cannot beat this hitch for the price. Thank you etrailer!

Its been a year and everything that I said previously still stands. I use my hitch every weekend and it has held up to everything.
Looks nice feels solid and installs simply. This hitch is exactly what I needed for the bike carrier I use and couldn’t be happier. Installed on my 2008 Nissan Rogue with my only troubles being the rogues frame being a little crusty making the bolts tough to screw in on the left side. Nothing brute strength and spray lube couldn’t handle though. Did not need to move the exhaust or modify anything as it fit perfectly.

Fantastic. Absolutely no issues
The trailer hitch receiver for my 2012 Rogue was easy to install. We did not need to drop the muffler. The holes lined up perfectly. The only problem we had was removing the rust from the exposed weld nuts to attach the hardware on the driver's side.
Fast Delivery- received it before expected

We have put the trailer hitch to good use since we got it. Right away, we rented a large flatbed trailer from uhaul to move 4 hours to our new home. We've also rented other trailers to move furniture we purchased, appliances, etc. The trailer hitch was easy to install, very easy try put on and take off and it is extremely durable. Zero complaints!
Good value for the money. Sturdy, came with appropriate hardware, and easy to install. If you have high usage, I suggest something higher end. I use it a couple times a month it works great for me. I've used it cross country and worked great, although the fold up parts are very basic and not meant for frequent folding and unfolding. (In my opinion)
Hitch working great. Pull my trailer and teardrop camper with it. Was easy to install. If you need a hitch check out these guys

Looks and functions like the day I installed it! Ill be coming back to eTrailer for any hitch needs that I have in the future.
63 years old. I have finally found the first project in my life that actually went as easy at it should have! The accompanying videos were spot on. Ran the back end up on ramps. Secured the front wheel. No need to drop muffler. Done in less than 30 minutes. Still can’t believe it was this easy of an install.

After a year of use I am happy to say the hitch is as solid today as the day I installed it!
Sturdy hitch. We connected a bike rack to it and it hold very well. We are connecting a pop camper this summer and we will see how it holds. If I don't come back here for a second review, that means I stand by my initial review.
The etrailer hitch is a great looking, sturdy hitch that is simple to install. I backed up our Rogue onto oil change ramps to give myself a little more room to work, but even that is not entirely necessary. The only problem was a defective factory weld nut on the passenger side (not the hitch's fault) that made it a bear to remove one of the bolts for the factory tow plate and install the new bolt for the hitch. But with some effort and a long enough ratchet, we can now carry our bikes.
A couple installation tips:
- You'll need a 5" or longer socket extension to reach the bolts, especially on the passenger side.
- You don't have to lower the exhaust.
- Despite what the instructions say, you CAN replace the appearance panels. (Not required, but I hate having extra parts when I'm done.) The passenger-side panel is easy to reinstall.
- The driver's side appearance panel needs to have a rectangle cut out of it to fit around the hitch, 3 3/8" wide starting 3" up from the bottom of the flat part, with a small triangular notch in the corner. (See photo.) You can cut the plastic with a sturdy pair of kitchen shears. You'll need to work it a little bit to get around the exhaust pipe, but then just clip it back into place.
Easy to order. Fast free shipping. Quick exchange of a product that wasn't really defective. I read reviews that said the hitch receiver was off center once installed, so I measured it as soon as I got it and emailed customer service with a photo asking if the receiver was supposed to look centered on the beam itself. (It's not.) They quickly sent a replacement and a prepaid return label. Turns out, the replacement was the same. Customer service could have saved the company on cost of shipping and me the hassle of an exchange had someone looked at my photo and said "the hitch will be centered once installed if it's off center on the beam," because I suspected it might have been the case, but I wanted confirmation before going to the trouble of the actual installation. Anyway, the product itself is exactly what I was looking for. The installation video should have included a better idea of the cut out necessary on the driver side. Luckily, I did a pretty good job of eyeballing it, if I do say so myself!
I use the hitch for a bike rack, and so far it has worked great without any issues or problems or becoming loose.
