Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2019 Nissan Leaf

Question:

I have a 2019 Nissan Leaf. Is there a trailer hitch available for this vehicle? Think I will be towing (not often) a light utility trailer soon. Do you have parts for this? Thank you for your help.

Yes, there is one trailer hitch available that's confirmed to fit your 2019 Nissan Leaf with the EcoHitch # 306-X7221. This will line right up to existing holes in the vehicle's frame rails for a no-drill installation and it provides a really sleek, hidden design that maintains the Leaf's factory appearance.

The hitch itself offers a 2" receiver opening with a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity, although you will also need to check the capacities of the vehicle and adhere to those if they are lower.

Then for wiring the Curt T-Connector # C56227 will work perfectly. This custom harness will plug into factory ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights to provide you with a 4-Way connector to power the trailer's basic signal lights.

Lastly in order to tow a trailer you will need a ball mount and hitch ball. I have attached a great article below that explains how to choose the best one for your setup, along with a link that will take you to our available selection.
