Sent a message yesterday, no reply. I need a hitch for my 2015 Nissan Rogue, want the 1.25inch receiver, wondering if you sell a KIT that includes that plus the wire adapter and draw bar/ball? Thanks,

We do not have a complete kit for all of the items you are looking for but I can make recommendations for each of the items you asked about.

We have trailer hitches that have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening that will work with your 2015 Rogue. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36542. This is a Class ll hitch.

The ball mount I recommend for the # 36542 is part # 36053. This ball mount features a 5/8 inch rise and 1-1/4 inch drop. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19256 and for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19258. You will also need a hitch pin and clip # PC2.

We also have Class lll hitches available that have a 2 inch receiver opening like part # 75902. When recommending hitches I recommend the Class lll hitch because there are many more options for hitch mounted accessories like bike carriers, cargo carriers, etc.

If you go with the # 75902 I recommend the 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 I recommend the T-One Wiring Harness # 118480. This harness plugs into your vehicle wiring located in your trunk behind your tail lights on the passenger and driver side. You will also need to run the hot lead wire up to the positive battery post.
