Question:

Hello, Does the trailer hitch for a cargo van fit the passenger van? Is there a wiring harness that would suit the passenger van 7 Pin? Thanks

Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75715 fits all models of the 2016 Nissan NV 3500 passenger or cargo vans so I recommend it. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing an example installation for you.

The trailer wiring harness # 118553 also fits all models. I have linked a video showing an example installation of the wiring harness as well. It will need to be installed first to add a 7-Way using # ETBC7. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation. If you also need a brake controller I recommend # 90885 because it's easy to set up and use and it is reliable.

For a ball mount I recommend # 40202 with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. If the ball mount does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

If 40202 will work for you then you can use 2 inch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286. For a pin and clip you can use # Pc3 or a locking pin # e98880.
