Question:

I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue. I want to attach a trailer to transport my BMW motorcycle - an r1200 GS Adventure. What do you recommend that I buy - hitch and wiring system? Thanks,

For towing a trailer with your 2011 Nissan Rogue you'll want a hitch, wiring and a ball mount and you'll be set. The Draw Tite hitch part # 75902 is a confirmed it and would work great. It has a 2 inch opening which is the strongest size available for your vehicle plus it is most concealed aside from the hitch opening. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Hopkins kit part # HM11143645 which is a confirmed fit too.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer 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.
