The entire 'etrailer' experience was GREAT.
I
selected the proper product, read previous customer reviews, and placed the order. The hitch arrived in a few days.
Five bolts and 12 minutes later, the unit was installed on my 2020 Nissan Murano, WITHOUT any special tools, additional labor, or modifications.
I'm 70 years old and did this in my own garage.
Completely satisfied 'etrailer'customer.

The trailer hitch receiver is as if it were a factory-installed item. It is as advertised... Quality and fitment are terrific.



by:

Very easy to install! I was impressed with the wiring kit especially. I towed a trailer full of beach gear from Ohio to Florida and back without issue.



by:
2016 Nissan Murano

Purchasing was made easy for my application along with recommended wiring harness. Delivery was on time and with all parts needed Iam extremely pleased.

Thank you.



by:

Thankfully previous reviews and information on the etrailer site were available for assistance. I needed to utilize a suggestion to expand the hitch receiver utilizing a 2x4 and car jack in order to align one of the holes. What started as a struggle became rather simple with the information found. The receiver was a perfect fit and has been a great accessory to our 2017 Nissan Murano.



by:

Installed the receiver and harness connector today by myself and it was so easy. Took 1 hour to do both. No problems getting the receiver in place. I didn’t have to jack up the vehicle, there was enough room to just lay on a blanket and get to work. The harness for trailer lights is just like the videos on this site, plug and play. The only minor issue was when replacing the fuse in the engine bay from an installed 30 amp to a 15 amp that was supplied the 30 amp fuse was different from the included one that came with the harness. The fuse from entrailer was longer where it plugs in. Thanks eTrailer, love your products and instructions.

Preferred this hitch over the other two for our Nissan Murano because the slant of the ends of the horizontal piece makes the hitch less visible. Purchased it for use with a hitch mounted 4-bike bicycle rack, so no electrical wiring was needed. Very easy to install.

The trailer hitch is a perfect fit and was easy to install. The wiring harness was also easy to install after watching the installation video on e-trailers web site. Thanks

The hitch reviewed on line and then purchased worked out great. It was made for my Nissan Murano, and installed all by myself in 30 minutes.

The bike rack I also purchased fit the hitch with all the vehicle clearances I needed.

Very happy.



by:
2016 Nissan Murano

Very pleased with this hitch. Watched your videos on selection and installation and found those to be very helpful. Installation for me on my 2016 Murano Platinum was a breeze. I used a furniture dolly and blocks of wood to roll it under the car and hold it in place while I bolted her in. Looks real nice. Will use this primarily for recreation not towing.
Great Price and Fast shipping, Thanks, JJ



by:

Perfect for my bike rack and small trailer. I had to use a steel tap to clean out the bolt holes on my car, but after that the install went smoothly.



by:
2018 Nissan Murano

Easy install and great product. Just needed an extra hand to start with mounting but all was very good! Wiring was also very easy to install.
Thanks etrailer!



by:
2020 Nissan Murano

Easy install, I used a floor jack to raise the hitch into position. Install 5 cap screws, torqued, total time to install 30 min.



by:
2020 Nissan Murano

What a great product. Online videos were a great educational tool. I am 72 and my wife is 70. With the use of car ramps, we installed the hitch in about 30 minutes. Extremely pleased at how it looks. Thank you for a wonderful product.



by:

Took me about 30 minutes to install. The Nissan dealer wanted $400 for similar hitch, and another $100 to install it. I paid $xx.xx at etrailer.com. Works like a charm.

Great product. Great installation video instructions. Speedy delivery. Best online price. Did not have a lift so self installed using my storm shelter (see pic). Torqued to 85 lbs

This hitch fit like a glove. Very easy to install. It took me about 15 minutes to install it, alone. Very good, very well engineered product

I have used my hitch and wiring harness several times and I couldn't be happier. Whether I am towing my utility trailer or my travel trailer , I am confident with this setup.



by:
2018 Nissan Murano

Purchased the Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Nissan Murano Installed myself, and then again for my new 2018 Nissan Murano . This time my experience was a piece of cake! Worked by myself while wife handed me socket wrench and nuts to install the hitch. Only took about a half hour.
The installation for Curt Wiring Harness also when extremely smoothly compared to my experience with the 2009 Murano.
Was overwhelming enthusiastic with both installations and quality of product.
Ordering from etrailer.com was expeditious.

excellent hitch slides smoothly into frame no sighs of wear or tear



by:

One year after buying the hitch and bike rack it is still looking brand new like it’s out of the box. It holds four bikes perfectly. I store it indoors. And it’s a little heavy to carry back-and-forth but I couldn’t be happier with the purchase.



by:
2016 Nissan Murano

Came packed well. It took about 30 minutes to install. I used a couple of jack stands to hold it and place and zipped in the bolts with my impact gun(with an 80 ft-lbs torque rod on it) and then broke out the actual torque wrench to get it to 86 ft-lbs. I did have to hit the welded nuts with WD-40 because they were exposed but definitely a nice product and easy install.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2021 Nissan Murano
    We have several options for your 2021 Nissan Murano. There is the etrailer, # e98907, Draw-Tite, # 75952, and the Curt # C13205. I recommend the etrailer, # e98907 with its matte black finish that hides inevitable scratches etc. from road debris. Please note the linked product review and installation video I attached below of the etrailer hitch being installed on a 2020 year model Nissan Murano. If you intend to use the hitch for towing and not just for a bike a rack or cargo carrier,...

    Yes, the etrailer.com hitch part # E98907 is the same design as the Curt hitch part # C13205 available for the 2019 Nissan Murano except the etrailer.com hitch is matte black and the Curt is glossy. I have attached photos of the Curt hitch on a 2018 Nissan Murano since we have not yet had a chance to install a hitch on a 2019. The Curt hitch will fit the same as the etrailer version.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2021 Nissan Murano
    Great question! Choosing a trailer hitch can be a little intimidating but I'm happy to help you out with choosing a hitch for your 2021 Nissan Murano. First off we can dismiss the weight ratings because your '21 Murano is only rated for towing 1,500 lbs anyways. Secondly we can dismiss the style and installation because those are all the same as well. This leaves the finish to be compared. The Draw-Tite # 75952 uses a standard powder coat, the Curt # C13205 uses a thicker powder coat which...

Out of the Draw-Tite # 75952, Curt # C13205, and etrailer.com # e98907 I recommend the etrailer.com trailer hitch because it has a matte black finish which is not only more aesthetically pleasing than the glossy black finish of the other options, but it also does a better job of hiding any scratches or dents that might occur from road debris.

If you'll also be towing with the hitch sometime in the future, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing setup.

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver and Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack Work On a 2016 Nissan Murano
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13205 is an excellent option for a 2016 Nissan Murano and it will work well with the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack part # C18085. The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack weighs 46 lbs so a bit on the heavy side but still possible for one person to remove and install themselves. If you want something lighter, the Swagman XTC-2 TILT 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64671 is only 30 lbs.

  • Availability of Concealed Hitch for 2017.5 Nissan Murano
    There are only two hitches which will fit your 2017.5 Nissan Murano, the Curt # C13205 and Draw-Tite # 75952. Though neither hitch is going to be concealed, they are both underneath the bumper and are by no means the first thing that will be noticeable on your Murano. Of the two hitches, I strongly recommend the Draw-Tite # 75952 because the Curt hitch requires the use of stabilizing straps with a bike rack in order to keep the warranty valid, while the Draw-Tite does not.

This is a requirement from Curt for their warranty. Like you said Hidden Hitch does not have this requirement though you could still use the strap if you wanted. The strap relieves some of the stress on the hitch. If you want to avoid using the strap then I recommend going with Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75952. I have linked a video showing...

    I have a possible solution for you. It looks like neither your Curt Class III, part # C13205, nor your vehicle are able to support that kind of tongue weight. Your best bet is to use a motorcycle trailer which you can find online. For most of these, you will need some wiring attached to your 2020 Nissan Murano to power the lights. I recommend the Curt T-Connector, part # C56267. It includes a tail light converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches the one from your motorcycle...

  • Will Installing Trailer Hitch on 2020 Nissan Murano Keep Hands Free Liftgate From Working

  • Is a Square Tube or Round Tube Trailer Hitch Stronger
    Technically speaking a square tube hitch has less chance of twisting than a round tube. This is why all of the heavier rated hitches for large trucks are squre. With that being said either style is designed and tested to meet certain specifications and rated as such. So regardless of which you're using as long as you stay within its specifications the hitch should handle the load. For your 2018 Nissan Murano both hitches are round tube hitches; Curt # C13205 and Draw-Tite # 75952. ...

    The Curt Hitch Extender # C45791 will give you an additional 8" of room (measured from hitch pin hole to hitch pin hole) though please keep in mind that an extender is going to reduce the capacity of your current hitch by 50 percent. So if you had Curt hitch # C13205, for example, on your 2017 Nissan Murano, its towing capacity would go from 3,500 lbs to 1,750 lbs and its tongue weight capacity would be reduced from 350 lbs to 175 lbs.
