Question:
The instructions for my cars hitch state in a Tech Tip that the tie down brackets must be removed. What are they? Where are they? Why are they there? Why remove them?
asked by: Ted
Expert Reply:
A tie down bracket is usually just a little loop of metal that is used to secure vehicles to the car hauler trailer when they move cars from the factory to a dealership. Your 2015 Nissan Murano may not even have them in the way. They are usually right in the middle of the vehicle's rear end but could be off to the side on the frame somewhere.
In the video I have linked showing installation of trailer hitch # 75952 they are not present.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you can use # 118660.
