Nissan NV2500 Trailer Hitch Buyer's Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your NV2500 into the one that takes a camper, a boat or a loaded equipment trailer. CURT builds two hitches for the Nissan NV2500 from 2012 to 2021, Class 3 to Class 4, rated 7,500 lb to 10,000 lb, from $325.15 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.
Your year decides the part. Find it in the table, open the year page for the exact hitch, price and wiring, and you're done in a few minutes.

Pick your NV2500 year
Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.
Class 3 or Class 4 on a NV2500?
Class 3 is the lighter one, with a 2-inch receiver and 7,500 lb of trailer. It's plenty for a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. Class 4 moves you to a 2-inch receiver and 10,000 lb, which is what you want for a camper, a boat or a loaded equipment trailer. Either way the NV2500's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling, and the lower number wins.
CURT parts for the Nissan NV2500
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 56148 ($111.43 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the NV2500's factory connector for 2012 through 2021. No cutting, no scotch-locks.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.
Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.
Nissan NV2500 hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Nissan NV2500?
It depends on the year. CURT 14000 is the newest, for 2012 through 2021, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a NV2500 with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (1,000 lb on CURT 14000), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 14000 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a NV2500 tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 7,500 lb to 10,000 lb depending on the part, but the NV2500's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
