It’s been a year since I’ve had this hitch installed on my 2018 Nissan Murano. The install should’ve been pretty simple. I tried to do it myself, but found some of the bolts that needed to be removed in order to install the hitch were pretty much frozen in place. I brought the hitch to my local mechanic, who was able to free up the frozen bolts and then install the hitch. My mechanic reports there were no problems with this hitch fitting correctly. He also reports it was a very easy install.

I’ve used it regularly several times last season and now just again this season. I use it to tow a small utility trailer that I use to haul my three wheeled tandem tricycle, back-and-forth from the campground.

The hitch i ordered was delivered on time and tracking was on spot. Installation was quick and all hardware was included and packaged professionally. I ordered a hitch from here for last vehicle and was not disappointed. The cost was extremely fair and instructions are clear to understand. This is why I'm and will be a return customer. Customer service has gone down hill with many other companies. This company goes above for customer service. That alone means alot.



by:

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:

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.

Fantastic hitch- very solid/ well made and works exactly as it should. I installed it myself, and I am not someone who works on cars- it was advertised to fit our 2018 Nissan Murano and everything lined up perfectly. I borrowed a tourque wrench from my neighbor to finish tightening the bolts to specifications. Glad I did it myself- this one looks a lot nicer than the ones I've seen that are installed by Uhaul.

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.



by:

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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:

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



by:

Works well!



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.

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.

The product appears high quality and it took me less than 30 minutes to attach it to my vehicle. Directions were great and all parts fit perfectly. Great product!!!

Easiest hitch I have installed yet. Didn’t even have to drop the exhaust. Bolted right on. Couldn’t be happier.

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.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch C13205 Fit 2015 Nissan Murano AWD
    I checked with Curt just now and they list the # C13205 as a fit for all models of the 2015 Nissan Murano including the all wheel drive models so it will fit and work well for you. If you check out the picture I attached you can see the hitch installed on a similar Murano and also that there's an AWD badge on the vehicle to show that it fits this model for sure. I also attached an install video for more info as well.

    Hi Buddy; I wasn't able to get a clear answer on the differences from Curt. They don't always have the same level of detailed information they once had since Lippert acquired them. What I can tell you is they made an update for the 2025 Murano which is why the # C93MJ exists. This is the newer model of the hitch. The # C13205 has a nearly identical design and installation instructions but won't be available anymore once current stock runs out. We have confirmed it fits the 2025 so you...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for 2" Hitch Extender on 2017 Nissan Murano
    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. If you do have enough capacity even with the reduction,...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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. ...

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.
