Expert Answers about Nissan Murano


  • Will the Trailer Hitch for a Nissan Murano Fit a Toyota RAV4?
  • With the way the etrailer.com Custom Class III # e98907 attaches to a 2021 Murano, it will not fit the frame of a RAV4. However, if you are looking for a hitch to install on a RAV4, the etrailer.com Custom Class III # e23ZR will fit models from 2019 to 2021. I included install videos of both hitches that will show the differences as well.

  • Is Connecting Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harness to Battery Required on a 2013 Nissan Murano
  • On the Tow Ready trailer wiring harness # 118653 you do need a direct connection to the battery. There may be other 12 volt power sources but the harness is not tested with or rated for use with these other locations. Also by connecting to the fuse panel this person has lost that level of isolation between the trailer wiring and the vehicle wiring. There are different ways in which a power wire can be ran to the battery. Running the wire under the vehicle is one method it is the quickest....

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Nissan Murano
  • Yes, you used the correct terms, receiver hitch is correct, trailer hitch is correct, just receiver or hitch is correct. Tow bar, however, is not correct unless you are in Europe. So you do have a good grasp on the lingo! The Reese cargo carrier would have been a great choice, but this one fits in 1-1/4 inch receivers. This is fine if the hitch you are going to have installed is a Class I or II with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. But the aftermarket trailer hitches for your 2015 Nissan...

  • Most Concealed Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Nissan Murano
  • The trailer hitch options for a 2018 Nissan Murano all feature a visible crosstube. That said, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98907 has a matte finish compered to the glossy finish on the Curt and Draw-Tite options. The matte finish tends to blend in better with the underbody paneling so it will be most concealed. In order to complete your setup you'll have to add a trailer wiring harness, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part...

  • Bolts Will Not Thread for Curt Trailer Hitch 13577 on 2013 Nissan Murano
  • If you are using the correct bold, then the method I recommend to clean the weld nuts is with a wire brush part # 814092 and spray lube. In order for the method to work you will need to let the lube soak for around an hour and then vigorously clean with the brush. If this still does not work then you can use a 12 mm X 1.25 tap. You need to be extremely careful when doing so as you can cross-thread the weld nuts rather easily. Let me know if this does not work.

  • How to Install 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2011 Nissan Murano
  • There isn't a plug and play option available for a 2011 Nissan Murano, but I can certainly walk you through how to make this work. You'll first need to install a 4 pole harness to access the vehicle's taillight wiring for the trailer. I'd recommend using part # 118653. How you proceed from there will depend on the trailer you're pulling. If the trailer does not have brakes or if it's light enough that they aren't needed, you can just use an adapter like # 37185 to convert the 4 pole provided...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2014 Nissan Murano With CVT Transmission
  • When it comes to installing a transmission cooler for a vehicle with a CVT transmission like your 2014 Nissan Murano, what matters is the cooling lines. If you have cooling lines that run from the transmission to the radiator then you can install a transmission cooler. If you do not have these lines running to the radiator, installation of an after-market transmission cooler is not recommended. If your vehicle has these lines, you want to get the largest transmission cooler that will fit...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2010 Nissan Murano with Factory 7-Way
  • If you have the 7-way connector from the factory on your 2010 Nissan Murano that means you have the factory tow package which the easiest brake controller solution would be to use the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which will plug right into the 7-way and once synced to your smart phone is ready to tow with. To install a standard brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR (better option than the Primus) you'd have to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires at the...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Electric Bikes with Fat Tires on 2015 Nissan Murano
  • I recommend using the Yakima On-Ramp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y36FR, which can carry bikes up to 66-lbs each and has a built in ramp to make loading the bikes a breeze. This rack fits in 2" hitch receivers like the one on your 2015 Nissan Murano.

  • Will Yakima HangOut Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2016 Nissan Murano
  • We do have Yakima trunk mount bike racks that fit your 2016 Nissan Murano, but the HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637 unfortunately isn't one of them. Instead you'll want to take a look at the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. It is the absolute easiest rack to install and comes with lock for the rack and the bikes to deter theft. If you were wanting something more along the lines of the HangOut then I recommend the Thule Passage # TH910XT instead. From what I could find it looks like you'll need to...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller and 7-Way Wiring Harness on a 2014 Nissan Murano
  • In order to tow a 2014 Casita travel trailer with your 2014 Nissan Murano you are going to need a 4-way wiring harness, 4 to 7-way wiring harness, and a brake controller. For the 4-way harness I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118653.

  • Roof Mounted Cargo Bag Recommendation for 2014 Nissan Murano w/ Factory Roof Rack
  • There's really no good reason why you'd need to remove the crossbars. The rooftop cargo bag will sit just fine over them, the presence of the crossbars won't harm a thing. The Rightline # RL100S20 with its 15 cubic foot capacity would be a great choice. The fabric the bag is constructed of is waterproof, but in a heavy downpour, rain can find its way inside thorough the zipper, so wrapping anything that can't get wet in plastic would be recommended. If the thought of the bag not sitting...

  • Is Torque Wrench Needed When Installing Draw Tite Hitch on 2020 Nissan Murano
  • I can't recommend you attempt to install the Draw Tite hitch part # 75952 that you referenced on your 2020 Nissan Murano without using a torque wrench to get the hardware to the correct torque spec, but you have a few pretty easy options. If I were you I would go to a local car parts store and ask about renting/borrowing one. Typically they'll let you borrow on for a couple hours really easily. Another really easy option is our Powerbuilt Torque wrench part # ALL644044 which you could...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver Will Fit My 2014 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet?
  • The only trailer hitch receiver that is confirmed to fit your 2014 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13577. This has a max towing capacity of 4,000lbs and max tongue weight of 400lbs, however, I always recommend looking in your owner's manual to verify your vehicle's towing capacity which you do not want to exceed. I do not believe the receiver comes with any paper work stating that it is suitable for the CrossCabriolet but it...
