Published 09/25/2014

Question:

Id like to equip my brand new 2015 Nissan Xterra for trailer towing with both the RV round and light trailer flat-4 wiring. Ill need a 2inch receiver hitch platform, too. What-all do I need for the 2015 Xterra? I dont see my vehicle listed on your site.

For your 2015 Nissan Xterra I recommend the Curt trailer hitch # 13514. It has the 2 inch receiver that you are looking for. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

To add a trailer connector you will start with # 118266. This set up comes with the relays and wiring needed. But the connector is just a 7-Way so to get a 4- and 7-Way you will also need # HM40950 which will plug into the same harness as the one that comes with # 118266.
