Does 4-Way on 2011 Nissan Rogue Have to Hang Out of Rear Hatch
Published 09/27/2018
Question:
Running the cable with connector to the trailer out the back tailgate does not look professional to me and requires opening the tailgate and pulling the cable every time to make a connection. Is there an issue with installing the connector under vehicle body close to hitch opening permanently? I have 2011 Nissan Rogue S FWD.

You can install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56033 or T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118480 on your 2011 Nissan Rogue so the connector goes under the vehicle body instead of hanging out the rear hatch.
Since the harness does plug in behind the taillights (see accompanying photo) on your Rogue many people store it there for simplicity because you will need to find a way to route the actual connector underneath your vehicle. The connector will also be more prone to damage from debris and the like if it is permanently on the hitch as opposed to simply being stored in the Rogue's trunk where it is safely tucked away.
If you do decide to route the harness under your Rogue you will need to use mounting bracket # 18140 and # 18144 to keep it securely mounted on your hitch.
