Components Needed to Tow a 2016 Nissan NV 3500 with a 2021 Nexus Ghost International Chassis

Question

Question:

We do have what you need here. For your 2016 Nissan NV 3500, the Roadmaster Base Plate is the Direct-Connect, part # RM-52359-5. The tow bar compatible with this that I recommend is the Falcon 2, part # RM-520. This tow bar will connect into your 2021 Nexus Ghost International Chassis' hitch receiver. I've linked to a video review of this tow bar for you to look at. *Edit - The 2016 Nissan NV 3500 is 7000 pounds, so the Falcon 2 will not be able to support it. The proper tow bar is the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, part # RM-676, rated for 8000 pounds.* Remember that there are more components to complete your towing preparation. In addition to the tow bar, you also need safety chains. I recommend the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables, part # RM-643. I've linked to a video review of these as well. You also need wiring and a brake system. For the wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, part # RM-15267. For the brake system, the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes, part # RM-9160, is a great choice. I've linked to video reviews of both of these.

With a vehicle at 7000 pounds, you are quite right in that you should use a tow bar with a higher rating than 6000 pounds. I added an edit to the previous answer, so thank you for pointing that out. The better tow bar to use for you is the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, part # RM-676. This has a rating of 8000 pounds and is perfectly compatible with the Direct-Connect base plate from above. This tow bar is also for 2" receiver, but that's no problem since we have the Buyers Products 2-1/2" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, part # 337RTA252. This adapter will allow you to use your 2" accessories (including your tow bar) with a 2-1/2" receiver. I've linked to video reviews of both of these parts.
