The factory towing package on a 2011 Nissan Rogue uses a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch. A Class I hitch will need to use the recommended ball mount for that particular hitch.

All Class I trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount for that hitch. Using a ball mount that is not recommended by the manufacturer will void the warranty. The recommended ball mount will have the correct rise or drop that is needed for towing with your factory hitch.

If you know the rise or drop on the recommended factory ball mount you can match it up to our Class I ball mounts and see if we will have a ball mount that would work.

The Curt Class I Ball Mount, part # C45018 you have referenced has a 5/8 inch rise and a 1-1/4 inch drop. It is 6-3/4 inches long from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole.

I am including a link to a page that will list our Class I ball mounts and a link to a FAQ page on ball mounts.
