Nissan Altima Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Nissan Altima in Canada? Start with the year on the door sticker, then open the CURT Class 1 card that actually lists that Altima window before you stretch a Rogue or Pathfinder story onto the wrong sedan. We stock CURT 11264 for listed 2002 through 2006 Altima years and CURT 11352 for listed 2007 through 2026 Altima years. Dedicated trailer wiring CURT 56339 covers listed 2016 through 2026 Altima sedan years. Earlier wiring is thinner on this shelf, and we will not invent a harness to fill the gap.

Which CURT hitch fits your Nissan Altima

Read the year on the door sticker first. Early Altimas in the listed 2002 through 2006 window open CURT 11264. Later Altimas in the listed 2007 through 2026 window open CURT 11352, which is the deepest Altima hitch shelf on this page. Both cards also list Maxima sedan years, but Maxima is not interchangeable with every Altima wiring path. Both hitch cards use a one and one quarter inch receiver tube.

Class 1 · 2002 through 2006 CURT 11264 Listed 2002 through 2006 Nissan Altima Class 1 hitch, with shared Maxima sedan years on the same card. Confirm the card years before you buy. Class 1 · 2007 through 2026 CURT 11352 Listed 2007 through 2026 Nissan Altima Class 1 hitch with shared Maxima sedan years. Strongest Altima shelf qty on this page. Four-flat · 2016 through 2026 sedan CURT 56339 Listed 2016 through 2026 Nissan Altima sedan trailer wiring harness. Pair with 11352 when the hitch card also matches.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Class 1 reality These are light-duty Class 1 hitches. Many Altima owners use them for a bike rack or a small utility trailer. Do not invent a Class 3 truck hitch for this sedan.
Early versus later hitch 11264 covers the early window. 11352 covers the long later window. Do not stretch one card across both.
Maxima share Both hitch cards also list Maxima sedan years. That does not mean Maxima wiring equals Altima 56339.
Wiring gap Dedicated Altima trailer wiring on this shelf starts with 56339 for listed 2016 through 2026 sedan years. Earlier harnesses are not invented here.
Receiver size One and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to that size.
Door sticker Hitch class is not the Nissan tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight.
Rogue kept separate Rogue has its own buyer guide. Do not stretch Rogue Class 2 or Class 3 cards onto an Altima.
