hi i just got hitch great value looks good i haven,t put it on yet i will let you no thanx paul very fast shipping

2012 Nissan Murano

Good looking heavy duty hitch, VERY easy to install! On my 2012 Nissan Murano, I did NOT have to lower the exhaust. I gently pushed in the bottom skirt below the bumper and gained enough room to raise the right side into place after I'd placed the left side (drivers side) where it needed to be and got one bolt started. Seemed to work great. Wiring harness worked exactly as described, but you do have to disassemble a lot of the rear of the car, so be ready for that. Very happy with my purchase, 3rd time I've bought from eTrailer and will continue to do so. Keep it up, guys!

2009 Nissan Murano

The Curt trailer hitch fits and looks great on my 2009 Nissan Murano. The unexpected problem with the install is 3 of the 4 needed bolt holes in the frame of the vehicle were corroded from road exposure, preventing threading of the bolts. To correct this, I purchased a 12mm -1.25 metric tap and T-handle tap wrench (from Menards for around $15 total). I did have to lower the exhaust assembly (per the instructions) to gain access to use the tap. With use of a spray lubricant, the tap cleaned out the threads without much difficulty. Just get it straight when you start and it works well. Took a total of about 90 minutes in all with the failed attempts to insert the bolts on the first try, then tapping of the 3 bolt holes.



by:
2009 Nissan Murano

Outstanding product, easy to install, worked as advertised. The hitch bolted right in and I did not have to drop the exhaust...very straight forward process. I also ordered and installed the wiring harness and 4 pin bracket, no issues; instructions were precise and on target. Great product and great service.



by:

Overall nice fit on the Morano, a lot less bulky than we anticipated, if we knew it was this easy to install we would of done this years ago! Fairly straight forward install and certainly appreciate the installation video provided as it saved us time on getting this hitch installed.

Only complaint is the “free” shipping offered doesn’t apply to Alaska !

works good but is very rusted



by:
2009 Nissan Murano

Shipping was fast and etrailer customer service was on the ball at keeping me informed as well as making it simple to access videos on how to install the trailer hitch and the wiring.

I will definitely be using etrailer for all my future trailer needs.

2014 Nissan Murano

Fit perfectly to my Murano 2014. I didn't have to raise it. I used two jack stand to help me line up the hitch. The hardest part for me is removing the rubber holding the muffler assembly. WD-40 really helps though. Tip. If no one is helping you to hold the hitch, use two jack stand.



by:
Nissan Murano

WOW!!! A perfect fit for our Nissan Murano CrossCabrolet . My girlfriend and I installed in in about 20 minutes. We did not remove the exhaust. I cleaned the holes on frame with a battery terminal brush, the hardest part. It's a little tight working around the exhaust, but easier than letting it down. We bought a cargo carrier to haul extra anything and have a bike rack. Also pull jet skis, about 1,500 lbs. a great solution.

Added this hitch to our SUV so we could transport our fat tire bikes to weekend trips. It was easy to install and works great. Very happy with this hitch.



by:
2012 Nissan Murano

This was an easy install!! The videos and instructions on etrailer’s website were very easy to follow. I didn’t drop the exhaust because I couldn’t get the holders out of the gaskets but I could easily work around that. Took less than 30 minutes to install & maybe 15 minutes to install the wiring for the lights.



by:

Thankfully it fit good. Was worried. Easy to install. Hardly noticeable under the car. Very pleased hope this helps others feel confident to purchase online.

Wanted to share photos of my newly installed receiver hitch & wiring for
lights I received this past Friday for my new vehicle. I want to thank both
Natalie & Shawn for their professional assistance in choosing & receiving in
time to use this past weekend.
It's been a pleasure doing business with your team & e-trailer & will
recommend to many.



by:
2014 Nissan Murano

Very quick shipping, great price. Hitch fit perfectly. Easy install. Instructions said install would take 40 minutes. I easily did it by myself with no lift in that amount of time. My second great experience with etrailer.com.



by:

Package arrived on time. The hitch installation was easy it looks good on the car, however in order to install the hitch the factory tow bracket had to be removed.



by:

Hitch was bent when taken out of the box; no visible damage to the box so it came that way from the factory. The mechanic had to bend it back to get it to fit.



by:
2013 Nissan Murano

Received the hitch on time for our 2013 Murano. My initial concern was if I could install the hitch without lowering the muffler system. My concern was unwarranted. I was able to install the hitch by myself and it only took me approx 1 hour. I located the hitch in place and blocked it in the install position so i could bolt it up with my hands free.
I would recommend the product and company to anyone

The hitch is used for our bike rack and we have had not problem. It was a good purchase

As always, hitches from Etrailer are top notch. Fit was spot on. Rack came fast, too! Just skip the hassle and get your stuff from Etrailer!

2010 Nissan Murano

This product was as easy to install as advertised. I did try cleaning out the crud in the bolts as suggested but didn't have much luck (8 years of crud had collected). I had seen in an online video how someone used a tap to clean out the nut threads. I did this and it worked like a charm. Aside from the trip to the hardware store to get the proper size tap (12 - 1.25) it took about 30 minutes to install. As suggested in a video I also used a tie-down strap to help support the exhaust after removing it from the hangers (another tip spray these with WD-40 to aid in the removal).

Any vehicle that has more than 2 or 3 years driven in a northern climate will have crud and corrosion built up in the hitch attachment nuts welded into the vehicle frame. If the dirt/corrosion isnt too bad, a wire brush like # DW00254 and some spray lubricant works really well. For older vehicles a thread tap, like you mentioned could be needed.



by:
Nissan Murano

Great product and service. Easy to install. Took an hour by myself with a floor jack, and I did NOT need to lower the exhaust! If I had a second one to install I could probably do it in about 20 minutes after having done one install now. Wish I had a Curt on my vehicle but my wifes Murano looks great!

It is holding up good. Though we dont use it as much, whenever we use it it works great. We put coolers and luggagges, bikes and other stuff and hasnt fall off. It is a great investment.

Electrical install went very well, took about 2 hours. Worked on tow bar for about 3 hours, could not thread bolts in hole. Went to my auto shop, they had to use other bolts, inside hole on passenger side did not line up. Have three of 4 bolts installed. Will return to shop tomorrow to solve hole #4 dilemma.

  • Trailer Hitch Comparison for a 2010 Nissan Murano
    The etrailer and Curt hitches are manufactured by two separate companies. Either hitch is equivalent in quality, installation procedures, and capacity. Really the primary difference between them is cosmetic. The etrailer # e65AR hitch has a matte black powder coat finish and the Curt # 13577 has a shiny powder coat finish. Most folks find the round tubes of these hitches to be very pleasing to the eye. Functionally speaking either hitch would work great for you. The etrailer hitch is...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2014 Nissasn Murano
    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...

  • What Do You Recommend to Transport Two Kettwiesel Tricycles on a 2014 Nissan Murano?
    Based on the measurements I found from my research on your Hase Kettwiesel trikes, I recommend the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long - 1,640 lbs # K2MMT5X7. The 88" long x 52" wide dimensions of the trailer will give you the room you need to fit bikes with a width of 34 inches and a length of 81 inches. In order to purchase this option, you will need some more accessories: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13577 - Curt Towing Starter...

  • Whats Difference Between Round Tube and Square Tube Hitch for 2012 Nissan Murano
    Great question Rae, so from an in-use perspective there isn't really a difference between a square tube and round tube trailer hitch. So for your 2012 Nissan Murano where there are only round tube hitches available like the Curt # 13577 that would be what you would want to go with to use the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 you mentioned.

If the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler is 18-3/4" while level then you will need a ball mount with a 4" rise.

  • 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.

  • What Causes Tire Cupping on a Trailer Tires
    That's tire cupping. When you have cupping wear on a tire it is from the tire bouncing on the road. You will want to check the air pressure in the tire and make sure you are running the maximum air pressure that is indicated on the tire. Then, I would recommend to have the tires and wheels balanced. Another thing to check is the suspension parts on the trailer. When suspension parts begin to wear and get loose it can cause the tire to hop when being towed and cause the cupping pattern.

  • What is Most Concealed Trailer Hitch that Fits 2009 Nissan Murano
    The difference is just the look. Some prefer the look of a square and some a round tube hitch. Both can look more or less visible depending on the application. Some vehicles with more round body panels will look better with a round tube, but a truck with a square bumper looks better with a square hitch. Really depends on what you think looks best.

  • Can the Motorcycle Carrier e98873 be Used to Carry a Yamaha Street Bike on a 2013 Nissan Murano
    I have some good news and bad news; the good news is that you are definitely on the right track of making sure that you are under the 400-lb Tongue Weight (TW) capacity of your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13577. The bad news is that your 2013 Nissan Murano looks like it is the limiting factor instead of your Curt hitch receiver. Your Murano has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs and typically the TW is 10% of that making your TW capacity 350 lbs instead of 400. You will want to double check...

According to the instructions, you will not have to cut or trim anything on your 2011 Nissan Murano.

The etrailer hitch is rated for 3,500-lbs towing weight capacity and 525-lbs tongue weight capacity.
