• What Trunk Racks Are Compatible With 2009 Nissan Murano?
  My recommendation is the Yakima FullBack 2 bike rack, part # Y02634. It is a two bike trunk rack. It weights 22lbs, it has a maximum weight capacity of 35lbs per bike, and a total weight capacity of 70lbs. It has a lock that allows you to secure your bikes to the rack, anti-sway cradles that prevent your bikes from swinging while on the road, and rubber and foam pads to protect the finish on your car. But its best feature is the vehicle specific sizing it provides. This removes the guesswork...

• Availability of Concealed Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Nissan Murano
  Class-III hitches with the 2 inch receiver opening are the only hitches our suppliers offer for the 2011 Nissan Murano. We offer the Curt # 13577 and the etrrailer # e65AR. This are extremely similar hitches and neither have hidden crossbars. The main difference between the two is that the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish and the Curt hitch has a shiny black finish. I personally think that the matte black looks better on the Murano and is not as noticeable as the shiny black....

  The difference is just the look. Some prefer the look of a square and some a round tube hitch. Both can look more or less visible depending on the application.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack on a 2014 Nissan Murano
  I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e65AR for your 2014 Nissan Murano because of the durable matte black finish that not only matches any black trim on your vehicle but I've found the finish also does a great job at helping to hide any scratches that might happen from road debris. If you don't already have a bike rack I recommend checking out the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B which is an elegant but easy to use bike rack. It's a platform rack that holds bikes by the wheels...

• Will the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e65AR Fit on a 2007 Nissan Murano

• Parts Needed to Equip 2013 Nissan Murano for Towing a 3000+ lb Boat
  I've looked at the owner's manual, which confirms the 3500 lb towing capacity for your Murano. Can your vehicle tow that boat? Yes it can, but because you're getting close to maxing out the towing capacity of the vehicle, you'll want to proceed with some caution.. If you'll be towing the boat fairly often and if the route you're taking involves moderate to long distances and/or hilly terrain, I'd highly recommend going with a transmission cooler to help protect your transmission. A cooler...
