Nissan NV Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Nissan NV cargo van in Canada? Start with the badge — NV1500, NV2500, or NV3500 — then stay on the full-size CURT card, not the compact NV200 path. We stock CURT 13109 Class 3 for listed 2012 through 2021 NV1500, NV2500, and NV3500 years on that hitch. The smaller NV200 and Chevrolet City Express share a different Class 3 card, CURT 13165, with CURT 56279 wiring when that compact van is what you actually drive.

Built for Canadian Nissan NV owners and shops. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts when the SKU is live on this store. New to hitch shopping? Start with the buying guide, how to choose a hitch, and what hitch class do I need. Prefer the full index? Open the towing guides hub.

Drop versus rise so a tall NV bumper still meets the trailer coupler without a nose-up or nose-down surprise.

What to buy for a Nissan NV

Full-size NV shopping is refreshingly simple on hitch steel. CURT 13109 is the Class 3 two inch hitch listed for 2012 through 2021 Nissan NV1500, NV2500, and NV3500 years on that card. Match the badge on the door to the year lander, then confirm the same years on the product page before you buy.

Do not mix this up with the compact NV200. That van — and the related Chevrolet City Express — use CURT 13165 for the hitch and CURT 56279 for the four-flat harness on the years those cards list. If someone hands you an NV200 parts quote for a tall NV2500, send it back.

Dedicated full-size NV trailer wiring is not cleanly listed the same way 56279 covers NV200. We are not inventing a harness SKU to fill that gap. Use a proven lights path only after you confirm fitment, or talk through a shop install with the harness options that actually list your van.

These are the full-size NV hitch year pages we publish today. Confirm the product-card years before you buy. We do not invent post-2021 landers.

NV200 year pages (compact only)

If your badge says NV200, use these landers with CURT 13165 — not 13109.

NV200 landers are listed so you do not accidentally order the full-size hitch for a compact van.

Badge check

1500 versus 2500 versus 3500

Same CURT 13109 family on the listing — still open the year lander that matches the number on your door.

NV200 honesty

Different van, different steel

NV200 and City Express share 13165. Full-size NV stays on 13109.

Full-size harness Not listed

We stock 56279 for NV200. We are not inventing a full-size NV harness to look complete.
