Question:

The NV200s owners manual says DO NOT TOW WITH THIS VEHICLE Yet you have two tow hitches for it. When I looked at your site for Chevy's version of the NV200, the City Express, you have pictures of a full size van. So whats the deal? Thanks

This is a question that gets asked pretty frequently, so the deal is that hitch receivers, such as the Draw-Tite # 75898 that fits a 2016 Nissan NV200, can be used for things other than towing. Many vehicles are not rated for towing but, like the NV200, can still use accessories such as the Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack # S44FR or Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145, among other things.
