All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Chevy City Express and Nissan NV200 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 525 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Chevy City Express and Nissan NV200 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, the 13 - 21 Nissan NV200 Curt 2" Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 5-Flat Wiring Kit Tow Boat/Utility Trailer with Surge Brakes 13165 (Part #5W-CHW-2532) is designed to fit the 2013-2021 Nissan NV200.
The 13 - 21 Nissan NV200 Curt 2" Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 5-Flat Wiring Kit Tow Boat/Utility Trailer with Surge Brakes 13165 (Part #5W-CHW-2532) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.

Yes, CURT part number 13165 is compatible with 2015 Chevrolet City Express Cargo Vans. It is also designed for 2013-present Nissan NV200 Cargo Vans.
CURT part number 13165 is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 3500 lbs and a tongue weight of 525 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
You will need: a flat-head screwdriver, 3/4" socket, ratchet, torque wrench, aviation shears, and a rotary tool. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation.
Yes. You must lower the exhaust by removing one rubber isolator located above the muffler before beginning installation. The exhaust is then raised back to its original position after the hitch is secured.
Yes. You must lower the spare tire carrier for ease of installation using a 7/8" socket located in the rear cargo area. The spare tire is then raised back to its original position after the hitch is secured.
Yes. You must trim the fascia on the driver side of the vehicle using aviation shears. The trim area is roughly 8" x 5", as shown in the trim diagram. You will also remove two fascia tabs with a flat-head screwdriver to expose the mounting hole, then reinstall one fascia tab after trimming.
Hole enlargement may be required depending on which fishwiring option you choose. If you use the secondary frame rail access option, you must enlarge the hole marked "secondary frame rail access" to 7/8" in size using a rotary tool on both sides. The first option—fishwiring through the existing hole in the frame rear—does not require enlargement.
There are two options. Option 1: fishwire the forward vehicle bolts through the hole in the frame rear of the vehicle on each side; this requires fishwiring the hardware over the suspension shackle. Option 2: enlarge the secondary frame rail access hole to 7/8" with a rotary tool on both sides, then fishwire hardware through the access hole to the rear mounting points. For rear mounting holes, fishwire hardware through the access hole in the rear cross member.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. First, raise the hitch into position and loosely secure all 1/2" hardware. Once the hitch is properly aligned, apply the final torque.
The kit includes: 6 serrated flange nuts (1/2"-13 UNC, grade 8, part number 20-00062); 6 carriage bolts (1/2"-13 UNC, 1-1/4", grade 8, part number 10-10278); 6 square spacers (0.250" x 1.00" x 3.00", part number CM-SP6); and 6 pieces of 1/2" fishwire (part number 1_2 FISHWIRE).
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual lists the difficulty level as moderate to challenging.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is important for safe operation.
All non-trailer loads applied to this product must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
CURT Manufacturing warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser.

Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation.
Remove the driver side rear access panel (two Phillips screws). Locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors behind the panel. Carefully separate the connectors from the taillight housing without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire.
Not necessarily. Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. Always check for hidden items before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.

Install a 10-amp fuse into the red fuse holder on the wiring harness. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum. Do not exceed this rating, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the included CME-PCL-INS sheet. This sheet provides the specific routing instructions and should be consulted during installation.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. When in use, route it to the center of the vehicle. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
All steps must be followed to ensure proper function. Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. Reconnect the negative battery terminal and reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
