This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.My problem was that the bolt holes in the frame were rusty, and it took two an a half days to get them to accept bolts.. I never lowered my exhaust like they mentioned in the instructions, I couldn't get a wrench or socket on the bolts holding the exhaust on the right side, due to all the rust.. I used picks to clean out the holes enough to get a tap started, I had to run a tap through each hole.. I was able to slide the trailer hitch receiver over the exhaust, I had to insert a pipe in the drivers side exhaust and push down so that the hitch slipped into place.. The trailer hitch receiver fit like a glove, very impressed.. I put in the bolts, had to use a crow foot wrench to torque bolts..
E-Trailer...thanks for such a wonderful product..I just finished with the install of my new hitch receiver for the Nissan Murano..I did install a new muffler at the same time so the install was a snap. The shipping time was quick...very happy.
Robert - 08/06/2019I installed this hitch and curt electrical wire kit today. it took me and my wife about 3 hours to finish it. it was not that difficult, but it took time , as I had to remove tie down hook, etc. I removed muffler completely, I found it is easier to install the hitch with muffler completely removed.
I moved rubber muffler hanger, 2 on driver side, and 2 bolts connect muffler to pipe to catalytic converter ( circle in red in picture ).
it was easy to remove muffler.
removing bolt of tie down hook require cheater's bar , since it was tight.
I did this without lifting car, just require good socket wrench, hold muffler using floor jack while removing it. I used $15 harbour freight 1/2 drive torque wrench to tighten bolts to specification on manual. I used silicone spray oil to make rubber parts holding muffler loose, and make it easy to slight.
Receiver was a perfect fit to my '06 Murano. Only issue was with the rusted mounting in the frame on my car. Supplied bolts worked great otherwise.
Sierra K - 11/03/2021Hitch came in pretty quick! The side with the three holes was bends inwards, so the it didn't align properly (See pic). Few swings of a sledgehammer and got it straightened out! Fit fine after that.
One bolt hole on the drivers side was not cut properly during manufacture so it was necessary to slightly elongate the hole. Shipping was fast and it was packed well. The hitch appears to be well made with the exception of the previously mentioned.
Very happy with quick delivery, price and ease of installation. Did not have to drop the exhaust system to install so 5 bolts and 20 minutes later my hitch was installed.
So far so good on installation. A previous review said that you do not have to take down the muffler and they where right!! I removed the 4 bolts on the tie down holder, sprayed all the nut holes with WD-40 and ran a small brush to remove any debris if there where any. I also made sure that the new bolts would easily finger screw into the nuts. I did this by myself and used my 2 ton jack to hold the hitch in place. I found out the hard way that in shipping , one of the flanges was bent, as I could not get two of the 3 bolts on drivers side to screw in. I gave up that night and got a good nights rest and tackled it the next morning. Not so bad unscrewing the bolts. Straightened the flange and reinstalled hitch. All bolts are accessible to use with a ratchet wrench. The installation of the wiring took longer than installing the hitch. Not bad for 71 year old guy.

Been using it for about a year and works fine. Hauled different types of loads without a problem.
Very good fit and finish of the hitch.
Rec'd the package in good time - thanks for the quick delivery. Instructions clear but am having a terrible time trying to get the bolts to screw into existing pre-welded nuts on the frame. Spent a couple hours and some skin on it earlier today. Am taking it to a friend who have some pneumatic tools tonight will report back. Could use some help figuring out how to remove tail-light assemblies for adding the wiring for trailer lights.
Patrick B - 09/06/2013The products showed up in the time-frame that I had expected. They were exactly packaged as I had hoped, excellent. The online videos that Etrailer had provided about installation of the tow hitch receiver were detailed and spot-on accurate. I am very happy with the prices of the items. A very good company to purchase from regarding these type of vehicle add-ons.
The hitch was packaged very well and came undamaged. All of the bolts holes lined up except the hole for the smallest bolt on the driver's side. It's not clear that the small bolt is even needed since there are two large bolts on each side of the hitch? I had to widen the hole in the hitch slightly to get that small bolt into the frame. I was able to mount the hitch without dropping down the exhaust as other reviewers had noted. The only problem is that it's a tight fit to get the final torqueing on the bolts but it can be done with a good set of wrenches/sockets. One of the bolt holes in the frame had rusty threads so I had to clean out the threads using P B Blaster and a battery terminal wire brush. If you live up north where there is lots of road salt, make sure you clean out those rusty threads first. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that stupid hole didn't line up correctly.
Our new Curt hitch is awesome. It fits perfect on our '07 Murano and was easy to install. It took about an hour and I did not have to purchase any tools to complete the install. The installation video was very helpful as I did need it for reference. We use it only to transport our bikes from home to parks, but it holds up well and looks great when doing so. Thanks to etrailer.com we got a great hitch at a great price as well as received it in a very timely manner.
The hitch was poorly packaged so the mounts got tweaked during shipping. I had to hammer it back into alignment before installation. Be sure to test align all the holes before you start to thread the bolts. The factory bolt holes were rusted out on my Nissan Murano. I bought a Helicoil kit to restore the bolt holes. That added about two hours and $45 to the installation. I had to remove my muffler for installation. It was rusted to the tail pipe, so I had to cut it free. This added another 2 hours and $12 to the installation. The install took a full day. This is a sturdy and attractive receiver once it is installed.
This was a little tough for me to install on my Murano. I have an '05 SL and with being a 10 year car, the bolts that I needed to take off and lower the exhaust were badly rusted. And holeswhere the hitch bolts attach were very rusted and corroded as well. In short I had to cut the muffler off to attach the hitch receiver. I towed my first trailer 11/23/2014 and I have no complaints. As for my muffler, meh, i will just buy a new one. No big deal. The videos helpd a great deal for installation. Good Job!!!
I purchased a Curt hitch and wiring harness. Quality of welds, powder coating, and fit were very good. It was great to be able to purchase a product tailor made for my vehicle. Shipping was immediate and on schedule.
The video installation demonstrations were clear and perfect. I installed the unit in an afternoon with no difficulties.
The hitch is perfect. everything i needed to install it came with it and the videos on the etrailer.com site were very helpful when installing the wiring. The install was a little rough, but that was the car's fault not the hitch's! Showed up on time with no damage. no complaints!
Trailer hitch was sprung a little during transit. Customer service was excellent in helping me figure it out. I didn't have to lower the exhaust system for install. The curt t wiring harness made the wiring easier. Can be done by any DIY person.
So far an excellent product.
I hardy ever write reviews, but I’m very happy with this product, the value for the money spent has been fantastic! I’ve already referred etrailer.com to a few other people who have mentioned aftermarket hitches! Thanks guys!
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # 13571 was easy to install, 30 minutes, the directions were clear and concise. The unit performs as advertised.
This is the 3rd hitch I have bought from etrailer.com. I love the products etrailer offers. I have also bought a bike rack from them!
This hitch looks AWESOME and fits perfectly without any modifications. Well aside from removing the factory tow "hook" from the frame, install was perfect fit.
Thanks Again etrailer.com!

Relatively easy install. Opted to lower the exhaust - only a few bolts, and access to the hitch mounting bolts was much easier. The hitch itself had some small issues with the flange bolt holes aligning with the frame - a bit out outward bending was needed to be able to start the front bolts. But overall a good fit done in about 45 minutes.
I was very impressed with how knowledgeable, friendly and fast the customer service staff is. Very impressive. The parts arrived quickly, and the video tutorials were extremely helpful. I'm not much of a mechanic, but the hitch/electrical install on my 2007 Murano went really smoothly. etrailer.com is awesome!
The hitch was delivered within two days and was perfectly packaged. The fit of the hitch itself is perfect although I would caution anyone who does the installation themselves on a Murano that is several years old that you will require a 12 mm fine thread tap since the pre-threaded holes are full of grime and rust. Without first cleaning out the holes with a tap there is no way to get the screw in the holes.
I've since ordered a 5 bike hitch carrier from e-trailer which also arrived within 48 hours and works great.
