  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2020 Nissan NV 2500
  • I have another suspension enhancement option for you, but at this time there is not a Firestore or Air Lift Air Helper Spring Kit that is confirmed to fit your 2020 Nissan NV 2500. While you are correct that the 5.6l V8 engine is the same engine used in the Nissan Titan, the suspension is different between the two. For your NV 2500 I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3614-T as it offers 2000lbs of support for your suspension, but also due to it...

  • Recommended Hitch and Swing Away Bike Rack for 2017 Nissan NV2500
  • For your 2017 Nissan NV2500, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13109. When using about 1/2 of Curt hitches they will require a stability strap # 18050 for their warranty, however, this hitch does not require it. When it is required it is stated in the installation instructions and I've attached them to confirm it is not required on this particular hitch or the stronger # C14000 which is also a fit for your vehicle. As you stated, these are made in the USA. The stability...

  • 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...

  • Options For Transporting 3 Bikes On A 2019 Nissan NV2500 Pulling A Camper
  • In order to install a bike rack on the back of your 2019 Nissan NV2500 when pulling a camper, you could use Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275. This mounts to the tongue of A-Frame trailers with widths between 12" - 52". The mounting bracket dimensions are 8" tall, 4-3/4" wide, and 2" deep; so you will want to compare this to your trailer to determine compatibility. You can add a 2-bike rack to this bike rack carrier such as Swagman...

  • 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...

  • Cargo Area Mat Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan NV
  • The difference between the # VRNV11 and # VTNV11 that you referenced is that the # VTNV11 is made of thermoplastic whereas the # VRNV11 is made of carpet. The thermoplastic liner is a heavier, denser mat at 32 lbs when compared to the carpet version that is 18 lbs so it would be a better insulator so I would recommend it for you. Either would also fit with the factory floor liner removed and would work equally well with wire racks.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Nissan NV 2500
  • The Draw Tite hitch part # 75715 is the hitch I would recommend for your 2019 Nissan NV 2500 as it has the most towing capacity and has the easiest install. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Cargo Carrier To Secure a Generator On 2021 Nissan NV 2500
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13109 for your 2021 Nissan NV2500. This receiver has a tongue weight capacity of 750lbs which is more than enough for your cargo carrier, generator and other gear. The GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604 will give you everything that you are looking for to protect and secure your generator. The inside of the weatherproof, polyethylene box is 46-1/2" long x 24" wide x 25" tall. The box can be locked with a Padlock # 131D, and the receiver...

  • How Can I Haul 4 ebikes
  • I looked up the Rad Power Wagon, that spec shows a weight of 77 lbs. and depending on which model of the step through, those can weigh almost 70 lbs. Since you state that the other two are about 45 lbs. each, for that amount of combined weight you will be challenged to find a bike rack that has a listed weight rating needed. You can possibly use the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes, # NV22G-NA22G if you can reduce each bikes weight enough to meet the 40 lbs. per bike rating of this rack....
