How to Select a Trailer Hitch
A 2013 through 2021 NV200 often lands on a Class 3 two inch receiver when the plan is a light work trailer or cargo under the Nissan sticker.
Watch on YouTubeNissan NV200 Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Nissan NV200 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT 13165 Class 3 card. That hitch covers listed 2013 through 2021 NV200 years on a two inch receiver, and the same live card also lists 2015 through 2018 Chevrolet City Express years. Ratings sit around thirty five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and five hundred twenty five pounds tongue weight. Treat the Nissan tow limit as the final word even when a compact cargo van looks ready for a work trailer or a weekend hauler.

Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Novice install notes on the live 13165 card still mean budget shop time around thirty minutes and recheck hardware after the first salted Canadian trips.

We do not currently stock a dedicated NV200 four-flat on this shelf. Confirm harness options on the wiring guide and test the plug before you blame the trailer.

Watch on YouTubeWhich CURT hitch fits your Nissan NV200
CURT 13165 is the Class 3 hitch for listed 2013 through 2021 Nissan NV200 years. The live card rates about thirty five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and five hundred twenty five pounds tongue weight on a two inch receiver, with novice install difficulty around thirty minutes. The same SKU also covers listed 2015 through 2018 Chevrolet City Express years, so the product title names both vans.
Larger Nissan NV cargo vans keep a separate buyers guide because those shelves are different parts. Ram ProMaster City also keeps its own guide for compact van shoppers. Confirm your door-sticker year against the live 13165 list before you order.
Parts-counter notes before you click buy
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Door sticker first | A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Nissan tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Shared City Express shelf | Live 13165 also lists Chevrolet City Express years. NV200 and City Express shoppers share the hitch SKU but need separate year landers. |
| Not the big NV | Full-size Nissan NV cargo vans keep the Nissan NV hitch guide. Do not assume NV200 shares those SKUs. |
| Work trailer honesty | Compact vans still run into payload and tongue-weight limits fast. Open tongue-weight tips on the hub before you load a contractor trailer. |
| Wiring gap | We do not currently stock a dedicated NV200 four-flat on this shelf. Start with the wiring harness guide and a plug tester. |
| Receiver size | Match accessories to the two inch opening and a five eighths inch pin. See the receiver size guide. |
| Install habits | Live card notes novice install around thirty minutes. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
| Compact van cousins | Ram ProMaster City keeps its own guide on the towing guides hub. |

Accessories that match a two inch NV200 receiver
Keep the two inch tube covered when empty, pin what you insert with a five eighths inch pin, and quiet chatter with a two inch anti-rattle kit. Ball mounts must match that opening. If you need rise instead of drop to level a work trailer, open the rise versus drop guide after you pick the shank size.
