Nissan Maxima Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Nissan Maxima in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT card that lists that sedan. CURT 11352 is the Maxima Class 1 hitch we keep in stock here for listed 2009 through 2014 and 2016 through 2023 years on the shared Altima and Maxima shelf. CURT 11264 covers listed 2004 through 2008 Maxima years on an earlier Altima and Maxima Class 1 card. Wiring is a separate carton, and we do not invent a Maxima-only four-flat when the shelf does not carry one that lists this badge. Confirm ratings on each live product card, and keep Altima on its own guide when that badge is on the door.

Which CURT hitch fits your Nissan Maxima

CURT 11352 is the Maxima hitch we stock deepest for listed later years. It is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver. The live description lists about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight for that fitment, but always confirm the numbers on the product card before you load. The live fitment list covers 2009 through 2014 and 2016 through 2023 Maxima years along with overlapping Altima years. Match your door sticker there instead of guessing from a neighbour’s Altima.

CURT 11264 is the earlier Maxima bridge card. The live description also lists about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight on a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver. It covers listed 2004 through 2008 Maxima years and overlapping Altima windows shown on that page. Open that card when your door sticker sits in the earlier Maxima window.

Watch the 2015 gap carefully. We do not publish a 2015 Maxima year lander, and the live 11352 fitment list skips that year. Do not invent a 2015 Maxima hitch SKU from this page.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Class 1 reality Both 11352 and 11264 are Class 1 with a one and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and ball mounts to that opening. Confirm ratings on the live hitch card.
2015 gap The live 11352 fitment list skips 2015 Maxima, and we do not publish a 2015 year lander. Do not invent a 2015 Maxima hitch SKU here.
Shared Altima shelf Both cards also list Altima years. Keep Altima on its own guide when that badge is on the door.
Wiring gap We do not invent a Maxima-only four-flat when the shelf does not carry one that lists this badge. Open the wiring harness guide for Canada plug basics, then confirm any harness card year by year.
Receiver size One and one quarter inch accessories fit these tubes. See the receiver size guide.
Door sticker Hitch class is not the Nissan tow limit. Read the door sticker and owner manual before you load tongue weight. See hitch versus vehicle tow rating.
Install habits Both live hitch cards note novice installs. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips.
Related shelves Keep Altima and Quest on their own guides when those badges are on the door.

Year pages we publish for the Nissan Maxima

Year jumps we publish for the Maxima. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist.

These are the Nissan Maxima hitch year pages we publish today. A 2015 lander is not published, matching the live 11352 fitment skip. Confirm product-card years before you buy. We do not invent hitch SKUs or year pages that are not live.
