Question:

Have a 2021 NV2500 Nissan 6cyl. Its a high roof van. No trailer to tow ever! Its a cargo van for personal used. Only items I was looking for was a tow bar, extension high/low bar, and a cargo carrier basket with side rails more than 5.5 inches. No bike. Will be carrying a portable 3000? inverter generator. Also a heavy duty plastic tub to put the generator inside. Cargo netting, and a weather proof cover for the above. I might be missing some accessories. Can you help?

Expert Reply:

I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13109 for your 2021 Nissan NV2500. This receiver has a tongue weight capacity of 750lbs which is more than enough for your cargo carrier, generator and other gear.

The GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604 will give you everything that you are looking for to protect and secure your generator. The inside of the weatherproof, polyethylene box is 46-1/2" long x 24" wide x 25" tall. The box can be locked with a Padlock # 131D, and the receiver secured with a Snap-On Lock # ACC3250. This cargo carrier has a 6" rise built in so you will not need an adapter to lift if higher in your receiver. And best of all the carrier will slide back 36" allowing you to still access your rear doors for other gear.

The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118553 will install on your Nissan and allow you to utilize the lights on the cargo carrier. These provide additional brake/turn/running lights in the event the drivers on the road behind you cannot see the tail lights on your Nissan.
