Hi, I just want to verify I am looking at the right hitch for my vehicle, 2017 Nissan Rogue S. There is also an SL and SV line in Rogue. Thank you

The trim levels of the 2017 Nissan Rogue won't have any bearing on the hitch fits, but the hitch you need will depend on whether you have the Rogue or the Rogue Sport which are distinct models that have different hitch fits.

If you have the Rogue, I'd recommend the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98846. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need the # 118480 wiring harness, the # 2753 ball mount and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch.

If you have the Rogue Sport, I'd go with the Curt Class III, part # C13377. For towing, you'll need the # 118757 trailer wiring harness, the # D-28 ball mount, the # PC3 hitch pin and the either of the same trailer balls mentioned above.

I've linked to installation videos for the hitches and wiring harnesses mentioned above.
