Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2014 Nissasn Murano
Question:
I'm confused by the hitch choices for my 2014 Nissan Murano. Which is best?
asked by: Pat D
Expert Reply:
All the available hitches for your 2014 Murano would share identical weight capacities (which could be limited by the capacities of the vehicle) of 4000 lbs towing/400 lbs tongue weight capacity.
I'd choose the Curt Class III, part # 13577 because it's simpler to install and less expensive than the comparable Hidden Hitch or Draw-Tite alternatives. Also, the Curt hitch crosstube is constructed of round tubing, which some folks feel looks better than the rectangular tubing used by the Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite.
If you'll be towing with your Murano, you'll also need the following to complete your towing system:
Trailer wiring harness w/ 4-pole trailer connector, part # 55571 (the # C56033 you referred to is for the Rogue, and wouldn't fit your Murano)
Ball mount, part # C45010
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260
2 inch trailer ball, part # 63845
Locking hitch pin, part # e98882
I've linked you to some install videos you might find helpful.
