Nissan Versa Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your Versa into the one that takes a bike rack or a small cargo carrier. CURT builds two hitches for the Nissan Versa from 2007 to 2019, Class 1, rated 2,000 lb to 2,000 lb, from $308.23 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.

CURT parts for the Nissan Versa
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 56185 ($98.18 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Versa's factory connector for 2014 through 2018. No cutting, no scotch-locks.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45521 ($51.38 CAD) drops straight into a 1-1/4 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 Versa hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Nissan Versa?
It depends on the year. CURT 11256 is the newest, for 2012 through 2019, 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 Versa with this hitch?
Yes. The 1-1/4 inch receiver takes any 1-1/4 inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (200 lb on CURT 11256), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is the most you'd want on it.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 11256 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 Versa tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 2,000 lb to 2,000 lb depending on the part, but the Versa's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
