Hitch and Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2008 Nissan Rogue
Question:
I have an 08 Nissan rogue and I am trying to tow a small trailer, I think I know what hitch I need, but is there a standard ball mount I should consider? Thanks!

For your 2008 Nissan Rogue I would recommend a Class III hitch like the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75902 as it would have plenty of capacity for towing your trailer and would give you greater flexibility for future hitch accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the Tow Ready harness part # 118480.
