The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2010 Nissan Murano is the etrailer, part # e65AR. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.

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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

The trailer wiring harness I recommend for your Murano is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # 118653. You just plug it into the connection points in the rear cargo area behind the tail lights of your Murano. Once the T-connector is attached you will need to find the 1-pin housing that is taped to the tail light harness on the driver's side and plug in the 1-pin connector on the T-One. Locate the fuse box under the hood of your Nissan Murano and insert the provided 15-amp fuse into the 20A Trailer location.

When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.

I've linked to all these products for you so you can see the current pricing.
