Installing the Tow Hitch on the 2020 Nissan Rogue

Let's see how to install the tow hitch on the Nissan Rogue. To work comfortably, lift the vehicle.

In the video, it was placed on a lift, but a couple of jack stands will work just fine to keep it secure. Remove the inner fender cover on both sides to access the metal plate.

Bolt the bar to the side metal plates, and at this point, just reinstall the inner fenders. A few words about the inspection.

This type of hitch will likely be approved in the USA as well. When you install it, along with the hitch documents (there are always documents with the hitch, they are its identification), you need to get a statement of proper installation from an authorized workshop.

It's not easy to get this if the hitch wasn't installed by them. The hitch document must also be signed by the workshop.

With these documents, go to the Department of Motor Vehicles - bring a $16.00 stamp, as it is definitely needed - and make an appointment for the inspection. In the meantime, you can drive with the hitch installed, having the appointment documents in the vehicle, but you CANNOT tow. The DMV will hold your registration document and will issue a temporary pink slip, valid for 60 or 90 days, depending on the office.

In the meantime, if you're lucky, the registration document with the hitch indication will arrive. Don't think you can avoid this hassle.

If they find you, they can seize your vehicle.
