This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Kenny 04/18/2024
Very easy to install! I was impressed with the wiring kit especially. I towed a trailer full of beach gear from Ohio to Florida and back without issue.
by: Michael 01/16/2024
Perfect for my bike rack and small trailer. I had to use a steel tap to clean out the bolt holes on my car, but after that the install went smoothly.
by: Barry04/25/2020
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.

@SethG Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

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: Kenneth11/10/2017
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.

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.

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

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.
by: Avi07/01/2023
One year after buying the hitch and bike rack it is still looking brand new like it’s out of the box. It holds four bikes perfectly. I store it indoors. And it’s a little heavy to carry back-and-forth but I couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

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.

2016 Nissan Murano
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

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.

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: Richard05/24/2020
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.

The item has not been installed yet, so I can’t comment on functionality. The shipping process was as advertised, not early, just on time. The item appears to be in good shape, and all the hardware is accounted for. Hoping it works as good as it looks!
by: Bob E05/30/2020
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.

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.

- Will Curt Class III Hitch For 2020 Nissan Murano Interfere With Hands Free LiftgateGreat news Pete. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13205 for the 2020 Nissan Murano will only interfere with the center sensor on your bumper for the hands free lift gate feature. The sensors on either side of the hitch will still operate the hands free lift gate feature. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
view full answer... - Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C13205 Affect Liftgate Sensor on a 2018 Nissan Murano Typically when a trailer hitch is installed on a vehicle with the automatic liftgate sensor it does not disable the sensor. It does get in the way, but you can generally still activate the liftgate by kicking to the left or right of the receiver. This is the same case for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205 on your 2018 Nissan Murano. I have attached an installation video of this trailer hitch on a 2017 Murano for you to reference as well. If you let me know what you will be using...
view full answer... - Does Curt Hitch for 2021 Nissan Murano Allow Automatic Liftgate to FunctionWe've had customers with 2021 Nissan Muranos like yours who installed the Curt hitch part # C13205 come back and tell us that if they kicked to the sides of the hitch opening the automatic liftgate worked. I would recommend trying that.
view full answer... - Does Curt Trailer Hitch C13205 Fit 2015 Nissan Murano AWDI 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.

- Will Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Nissan Murano Allow Hands Free Lift Gate to FunctionThat's a bummer to hear that your hitch interfered with the hands free lift gate. When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 75952 on a 2019 Nissan Murano we were able to still trigger the lift gate by kicking to either side of the hitch opening. If you haven't tried that yet I would see if that works before buying a new hitch and sensor. As far as the new sensor working with the Draw Tite us and the dealers can't really say for sure since neither of us have tested that combination of...
view full answer... - Will Installing Trailer Hitch on 2020 Nissan Murano Keep Hands Free Liftgate From WorkingThis question actually comes up quite a bit. The hitch receiver tube and safety chain plate will block the sensors located under the rear bumper in the center. However, the sensors further to the right or left will still function and allow you to utilize the hands-free feature as shown in the provided photo. If you click the provided link, you can see a video showing the hitch being installed.

- Does Curt Hitch for 2019 Nissan Murano Affect Hands Free LiftgateThe Curt hitch part # C13205 that fits your 2019 Nissan Murano will not interfere with the hands free liftgate feature of your vehicle. At worst you'd have to just kick to the side of the hitch opening but we and Curt have not had any complaints about the feature being lost or affected.
view full answer... - Weight Of The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13205 has an approximate weight of 25lbs and is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 350lbs.
view full answer... - Availability of Concealed Hitch for 2017.5 Nissan MuranoThere are only two hitches which will fit your 2017.5 Nissan Murano, the 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. If you are looking...

- What Size Bolts Does Curt Hitch # C13205 UseThe Curt hitch part # C13205 that you referenced uses bolts that are size M12x1.25. We have the part # RHK which we offer as a way to order replacement hardware for any hitch we offer.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Hitch be Used on Vehicles with Factory HitchYes, some factory trailer hitches are welded onto vehicles, which is likely the case with your 2015 Nissan Murano. We don't have any type of specific list of vehicles with welded-on hitches but it unfortunately sounds like this is what is happening for you. In regards to fit, aftermarket hitches such as the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75952 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205 which fit your '15 Murano are designed to fit vehicles that do not already have a factory...
view full answer... - How to Transport a 500-LB Motorcycle with a 2020 Nissan MuranoI have a possible solution for you. It looks like neither your Curt Class III, part # C13205, nor your vehicle are able to support that kind of tongue weight. Your best bet is to use a motorcycle trailer which you can find online. For most of these, you will need some wiring attached to your 2020 Nissan Murano to power the lights. I recommend the Curt T-Connector, part # C56267. It includes a tail light converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches the one from your motorcycle...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2020 Nissan MuranoWe can definitely help you with that! I can certainly understand what you have going on, I've recently downsized vehicles myself and it is a struggle! For a hitch I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver hitch, part # C13205. Curt makes a durable, high quality product at a reasonable price point. For the cargo carrier, I'd recommend another Curt product, their 23x60 folding cargo carrier, part # C18151. This carrier has a couple of features I really like, like the carrier can also fold...

The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Murano are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98907 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better...

The hitches that fit your '24 Murano are the following part numbers: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98907 The matte black finish does hide those inevitable small scuffs a bit better than...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitches for the 2015 Nissan MuranoCurt, the manufacturer, has determined that some of their hitches should be used with stabilization strap # 18050 when using a bike rack or cargo carrier. This is a requirement from Curt for their warranty. Like you said Hidden Hitch does not have this requirement though you could still use the strap if you wanted. The strap relieves some of the stress on the hitch. If you want to avoid using the strap then I recommend going with Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75952. I have linked a video showing...

I do recommend reaching out to U-Haul with the Year/Make/Model of your vehicle to make sure they will rent you the trailer you are...
view full answer... - Is a Square Tube or Round Tube Trailer Hitch StrongerTechnically 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. ...

If your new Murano has the tie down brackets they will be removed and they are not able to be used. I recommend using the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches # RHK to replace the hardware on your hitch with new bolts. You will need to select the receiver manufacturer and the receiver number to be installed to ensure that you get the correct hardware set. Be sure to use the Curt Cam Buckle...

The Curt # C13205, which is a fit for your 2020 Nissan Murano, will still allow you to use the hands free lift-gate feature. While the area directly above the hitch receiver may not be fully functional, you'll still be able to kick your foot to the left or right of the receiver to operate the hands-free lift gate. The Curt # C13205 is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a durable gloss black powder coated finish that will provide superior resistance to rust and corrosion. If...

You will want to check your Murano's owners manual to confirm what your vehicle's tongue weight is rated.

Out of the Draw-Tite # 75952, Curt # C13205, and etrailer.com # e98907 I recommend the etrailer.com trailer hitch because it has a matte black finish which is not only more aesthetically pleasing than the glossy black finish of the other options, but it also does a better job of hiding any scratches or dents that might occur from road debris.

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Nissan MuranoA hitch that is exposed will have the cross tube visible beneath the vehicle. this isn't so much an aesthetic choice as it is a design necessity. Not all vehicles have the space that would allow for the hitch to be concealed (except for the receiver). All of the trailer hitches for the 2015 Nissan Murano # 75952 and # C13205, are going to be visible. But it is not like it is sticking out there for everyone to easily see. It is tucked back under the vehicle some. Take a look at the installation...

It and the Curt trailer hitch # C13205 install the same but I would not say that one is more hidden than the other. I recommend taking a look at the installation videos for each hitch which I have linked for you which will provide a good comparison. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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...

The trailer hitch receiver is as if it were a factory-installed item. It is as advertised... Quality and fitment are terrific.
