Question:

Does trailer wiring harness part number 56033 fit also on a Rogue 2015 or do I need part number 118480?

The Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118480, and the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, # C56033, are basically the same harness from two different manufacturers. The main difference between these two harnesses is Curt uses surface-mount technology (SMT), a newer technology from the older through-hole technology.

The Curt harness also has higher amp ratings of 3 amps per circuit for the stop and turn lights and 6 amps per circuit for the tail lights. The Tow Ready harness only has 2.1 amps per circuit for the stop and turn lights and 5 amps per circuit for the tail lights.

I recommend going with the Curt harness, # C56033, because it uses newer technology and has higher amp ratings. Unless price is your object, then you will want to go with the Tow Ready harness. I have attached an installation video on a 2011 Honda CR-V for you to check out. The video is for the Tow Ready harness, but the installation will be the same for the Curt harness.
