Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness For 2014 Nissan Altima
Question:
I want to purchase and install a hitch and wire harness on my 2014 Altima. You offer a 4 pole harness. I currently pull my trailer with a Goldwing and the bike and Trailer are wired with 5 pole connectors. How can I make the 4 pole harness work on my trailer? Or do I need to retire the trailer?

I would be happy to recommend a trailer hitch receiver and vehicle wiring harness for your 2014 Nissan Altima.
Starting with the trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24796 which has a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating.
Moving on to the wiring I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118470 which will plug in to your factory wiring and will not require any splicing.
Since your trailer has a 5 way connector you will also need the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat - Vehicle End # C57187 which will convert the 4-way connector to a 5-way connector.
Lastly to complete your towing setup you will need a drawbar # 3594, and 1-7/8" hitch ball # 19257 or 2" hitch ball # 19258.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
