Expert Answers about Nissan Rogue


  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Towing Accessories for a 2012 Nissan Rogue
  • Yes, installation will be basically identical between the 2012 and 2014 Nissan Rogue when installing Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75902 so you can use the video, linked for reference, as a guide. If you plan on doing some towing and do not have any accessories to do so I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with...

  • Should Anti-Seize Compound be Used When Installing a Hitch?
  • We cannot recommend using anti-seize compound when installing the Draw-Tite # DT85MR on your 2021 Nissan Rogue. Though it is rare, bolts can back out when this is used. Especially when used to attach to something that will vibrate and move around a little when attached to the frame of the vehicle. I know that sounds kind of weird, but hitches are designed to flex a little with the frame of the vehicle when going over bumps or rough roads.

  • Does Installing Hitch on 2018 Nissan Rogue Require Removal of Bumper
  • Although installing a hitch like # C13204 would require trimming or removing the under body panels (if so equipped), installing the hitch would not require removing the bumper beam or bumper cover. Some hitches will take the place of the bumper beam, that that isn't the case with the hitches available for the 2018 Nissan Rogue. The US manufactured # C13204 is what I'd recommend. If you click the provided link, you can see a video showing the entire installation of a 2018 Nissan Rogue like...

  • Can Hitch Be Removed At A Later Date On A Leased 2012 Nissan Rogue
  • We do offer trailer hitches that are designed to fir your 2012 Nissan Rogue. The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, part # 75902 While looking at the installation instructions, it states that if you have the appearance panels that cover the driver's side and the passenger side frame rails, they are to be removed. The tow hook is also removed when installing the hitch. These items can be reinstalled when the hitch is removed at a later date. No drilling is required...

  • How to Remove and Stow the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
  • That's unusual, in order to stow the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 you'd have to: -Loosen the lockable knob, -Pull the pin out, & -Push the small lever on the bottom of the rack and rotate the rack toward your Rogue to give you a bit of leverage and then you can use the grab handles on top to pull it out of the car. From here, all you'd need to do is fold the shank portion into the rack and you're good to go. You can see this being demonstrated starting...

  • Does the Rear Panel of a 2015 Nissan Rogue Have to Get Removed to Install Draw Tite Hitch 75902
  • Draw-Tite recommends the removal of the lower panel you referenced when installing the part # 75902, but if you found a way to trim the panel and have it reinstalled that is fine as well. We can't officially recommend that since it's not what Draw Tite recommends. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • How to Connect RV Oval Porch and Utility Light to a Trailer Battery
  • On porch light # RVPL7C the white wire is the ground and will need to attach to a clean metal surface. The black wire is the power wire. You can use some automotive wire to go from the light to the battery. Once at the battery you could use something like the battery terminal # DW05312. There are a couple of studs on this terminal and you could place a ring terminal on the end of the wire, remove a stud, then put the wire over the stud and thread it back into place. If your battery already...

  • 4-Pole Mounting Bracket for Use with Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness C56033
  • The 4-pole wiring on Curt T-Connector Harness # C56033 is long enough to reach a hitch-mounted bracket like # 18144 but there is a benefit to keeping the wiring protected inside your Rogue until you actually need it for your trailer. The worst enemy of trailer wiring is corrosion, which can be caused by exposure to moisture, salt and other contaminants. Keeping that 4-pole safe when not in use can help prolong its working lifespan and spare you unwelcome lighting issues when you tow. Dielectric...

  • How to Replace Thule Locking Cylinders on a Roof Rack
  • When you go to change the lock cylinders on your roof rack to the cylinders of the Thule Locking Cylinders 4 Pack # TH450400 you will insert the included universal change key into an unlocked cylinder that is currently in your roof rack and then remove the cylinder. It may take a little bit of wiggling for the cylinder to work itself loose, but when the change key is inserted into the lock cylinder the cylinder will be free to slide out. Next, you will insert the change key into a cylinder...

  • Are Load Resistors Needed on a 2010 Nissan Rouge when Installing LED Blinkers
  • Yes, you will need a Load Resistor, item # DI34ZR, at at least two lights that you plan to install on your 2010 Nissan Rouge, if after installing the LED blinkers you have a hyperflash situation. If you still have hyper flash with two resistors installed you will need to install 2 more resistors at the other lights. You should install the LED blinkers first to determine if the resistors are required on your vehicle. You will not need to calculate the Ohms, the resistor is built to build...

  • Attaching the Power Wire for a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2013 Nissan Rogue
  • On trailer wiring harness # 118480 for your 2013 Nissan Rogue, you will have to connect the power wire from the converter directly to the vehicle battery. No other 12 volt source should be used. It is not recommended to attach the power wire from the converter to any other 12 volt power source other than directly to the battery. The reasons for this are: connecting to a circuit like that 12VDC outlet defeats the purpose of isolating the trailer wiring from the vehicle wiring so short...

  • Install Video for Trailer Hitch that Fits 2021 Nissan Rogue SV
  • We did have the chance to shoot an install video for the Draw Tite trailer hitch part # DT85MR which fits your 2021 Nissan Rogue. Since all of the hitches for your vehicle are pretty similar you could use this as a guide for the install of any of the other hitches we offer. I also attached install instructions for the Tekonsha wiring part # TK76FR which is very similar to the Curt for you to check out as well. Maybe you'll find those easier to follow.

  • Can a Bike Rack be Used on the End of the Surco Cargo Carrier # 52018F
  • You cannot add bike racks to the back of a cargo carrier. I would recommend the # CC-100 carrier and then add the # CC-125 bike adapter to it. Another option, you could add a roof bike rack. If you are interested in some roof mounted cargo carriers or bike racks, let me know and I would be happy to make some recommendations. I would just need the year, make and model of your vehicle and the type of roof rack you have (factory roof rack with crossbars, factory side rails or a bare roof).

  • Remote Start Feature on etrailer 3,200-Watt Portable Generator
  • You will only need to complete this step during the initial setup of the etrailer 3,200-Watt Portable Inverter Generator # 333-0003 and during situations where you need to choke start the generator. Since this way of starting requires operation from the control panel on the generator, you won't be able to use the remote in these instances. In most cases, after unpacking at your camp site and the initial startup, you will be able to start the generator using the remote control without issue...

  • Wiring Harness Troubleshooting For 2018 Nissan Rogue
  • It is very odd that only the third brake light on your Rogue would be acting up after installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118480; it really should not be possible that only the third brake light is having an issue. I contacted the manufacturer about this and was told they have never heard of anything like this happening. They recommended disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery for about 5 minutes to reset any module that could have...

  • Are Underbody Panels Required to be Removed to Install the Curt Hitch # C13168
  • You would not be able to tell that the underbody panels have been removed on your 2014 Nissan Rouge unless you were under the vehicle. There are two pieces that will need to be removed. Check out the picture I attached to see the two pieces that get removed. All the necessary hardware to install this hitch is included. I also attached a link to installation instructions for you to check out also.

  • According to the linked directions you will need 18mm and 19mm sockets to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75902 on your 2015 Nissan Rogue. The 18mm socket is what is needed to remove the bolts that are securing the factory tow hook while the 19mm socket is what is used to tighten down the hardware for the hitch.

  • Installation Process for Trailer Light Wiring on 2021 Nissan Rogue
  • The 2021 Nissan Rogue is a vehicle that we have not had the opportunity to install a wiring harness on as of yet. This means, of course, that we do not have an installation video available. That being said, installation of a wiring harness like the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK76FR is fairly simple. The T-One connector plugs into connection points in the rear cargo area. Once that is done, a hot lead will run to the car battery. I would recommend the Tekonsha you looked at...
