Expert Answers about Nissan NV 2500


  • What Do I Need To Tow a Car Hauler Trailer With My 2012 Nissan NV 2500?
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75715 will work for your 2012 Nissan NV 2500. Your Nissan will have a tow rating between 7000lbs and 9500lbs. You can contact Nissan for your exact tow rating by VIN number. The Draw-tite will allow for up to 7,000lbs towing and 1,125lbs of tongue weight. If you are using a weight distribution hitch the ratings are 10,000lbs towing and 1,000lbs of tongue weight. You will want to verify the weights of both your VW Passat and U-Haul...

  • Brake Controller and Install Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan NV 2500
  • You will have to hardwire in a brake controller to your 2012 Nissan NV 2500 as there isn't a plug or port under the dash for quick installs. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118553. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video...

  • How To Install Roof Platform Tray On a 2018 Nissan NV 2500 High Roof
  • I do have an option to install a platform tray on top of a 2018 Nissan NV 2500 High Roof but there are no options through Rhino Rack currently. Instead, you'd need to first install a Yakima Roof Rack part # Y01158, part # Y03541, part # Y53TR, part # Y00221. Then you could use this to install a Yakima Platform Trap part # Y05046 and part # Y05039 (2). In regards to modifying the platform, I could not recommend this.

  • 4-Way Wiring Harness Compatible with Tow Ready Mounting Bracket # 18144
  • If you are needing a trailer wiring harness for the 2018 Nissan NV 2500 that you have listed in the vehicle fit guide that will work with the Mounting Bracket # 18144, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118553. This custom harness will plug into factory ports behind trim panels in the rear cargo area of the NV 2500 and the 4-Way will fit inside the bracket opening. If you are just looking for a universal hardware harness the Tekonsha 4-Pole # 18252 will work and is compatible with the bracket...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2014 Nissan NV 2500
  • There's only one way to install a 7-way on your 2014 Nissan NV 2500 and it involves installing a 4-way first like with the Curt part # C56148 which is by far the best option that is the most reliable. And then to convert it to a 7-way and install a brake controller you'd need the part # ETBC7. If you don't plan to install a brake controller you'd instead need the part # 37185. For a brake controller the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED57FR is a really great option that only puts a small knob...

Let's start with the hitch, and the best option that fits your NV 2500 is from Draw-Tite: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75715 The reason the Draw-Tite is the best for your van is because it offers the most ground and bumper clearance for your rack, which is going to keep it safe from contact with both your...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan NV 2500
  • We have a few trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2018 Nissan NV 2500. I specifically recommend the Curt Class IV # C14000 because it offers the highest weight capacities (10,000 pounds towing and 1,000 pounds tongue) indicating a stronger hitch and it is made right here in the USA. It will also use existing holes in the van's frame for a completely bolt-on (no-drill) installation. I have attached an installation video that you can also use for reference. All the...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2016 Nissan NV2500
  • For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. To install this in your 2016 Nissan NV 2500 all you need is the correct install harness part # 3050-P which is a confirmed fit. On your vehicle...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer 7k Axle with Locked Up Wheel
  • It's probably a bearing that got destroyed due to lack of lubrication which then caused it to look up to the axle's spindle. What you are going to want to do is take it all apart and see what the damage is. Remove the wheel, take off the dust cover of the hub, and then remove the spindle nut that holds the hub to the axle. Hopefully you can then pull the hub off of the axle easily. I'd assume you'd need a new hub/drum like with the part # 8-219-4UC3-EZ but it is possible you could get...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Turn Signals on 2015 Nissan NV 2500 Not Working
  • First thing you should do at this point is test the 7-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue. Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2012 Nissan NV 2500
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118553. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller...

  • Weight Distribution and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2020 Nissan NV 2500
  • I would recommend the Strait Line weight distribution system part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features only sway control that works to prevent sway before it starts. For a brake controller I really like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR which only puts a small knob on your dash instead of a big controller box and is proportional instead of time based. To install it in your 2020 Nissan NV 2500 would only require the install harness part # RED39FR...

  • Is There An Air Bag And Compressor Available For A 2017 Nissan NV 2500
  • Though I may have another option, I checked with Firestone and Air Lift and, unfortunately, neither currently make a kit that will fit a 2017 Nissan NV 2500. With that being said, the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3614-T is a highly recommended product. These do a very good job of helping with squat issues as well body roll and sway. The install is pretty quick and easy, and as long as you can jack your vehicle up by the frame, it is also pretty easy to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2015 Nissan NV 2500
  • Starting with a trailer hitch for your 2015 Nissan NV 2500, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class IV Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75715. This custom-fit hitch will use existing holes in your vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. It features a 2 inch receiver, a 1,125 pound tongue weight capacity, and a 7,500 pound towing weight capacity. I also recommend checking the owner's manual for your NV 2500 for its specific capacity, as you will need to follow whichever limit is lower. I have attached...

  • Can Rightline Tent part # RL110907 Be Setup with One Person
  • Ideally when setting the Rightline Tent part # RL110907 up you have a second person, but that said we've had more than a few people come back and say that they were able to set the tent up by themselves. I'd recommend maybe having a second person with you to practice set it up once and then from there you'd have a pretty good idea how to go about setting it up by yourself. This is liste as a fit for your 2017 Nissan NV 2500 as well. I hope we someday do an assembly video for this tent!...
