Expert Answers about Nissan Murano

• Comparing Thule Hitching Post and Yakima Ridgeback
• The Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 and the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR are both pretty similar in a lot of ways but the Ridgeback basically is a little bit nicer in features. They both have tilting capabilities, but the Yakima uses levers to operate the tilt of the mast and arms and the Thule requires you to pull a few pins which will add some time to the process. Also the zip straps of the Yakima are quite a bit easier to operate than the rubber straps of the Thule. I attached...

• Recommended Bike Rack for a Carbon Fiber Bike on a 2017 Nissan Murano
• The bike rack that I recommend for your carbon fiber bike on your 2017 Nissan Murano is the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack # Y02443. This hitch bike rack will handle road bikes, mountain bikes, and anything in between. The ratcheting hooks and wheel straps hold your bikes by their wheels with no frame contact which is what you want for your Carbon bike. The adjustable bike trays slide side-to-side to eliminate bike-to-bike contact, so if you are carrying multiple bikes you wont have to worry about...

• 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...

• Will Saris Freedom Bike Rack for Recumbents Work with Bacchetta Aero Recumbent Bike
• The Saris Freedom # SA4412B-R referenced in your question will work very nicely with your Bacchetta Aero CA3.0 recumbent bike. The Freedom is set apart from a lot of racks because at only 22-1/2 pounds it's an extremely light platform rack. Most platform racks are at least 10 pounds heavier and many more than that. Additionally, even while being so light it can hold two bikes weighing up to 60 pounds a piece. The only thing I wish it has was locks but those can be added using # SA981...

• 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...

• Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan Murano
• If they used a hardwire Curt harness, it was probably # C59236. It uses a 10 amp fuse but if the fuse is blowing when no trailer is connected something must be wired wrong or there is a short somewhere where the wires from the converter are connected. I recommend going with a T-connector like # 118653. This system plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring and also requires a direct connection to the battery to provide the power for the trailer lights. The benefit of the T-connector...

• Carrying Two Golf Bags in a Roof Box on a 2017 Nissan Murano
• For your golf bag transporting needs, I recommend the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Box, part # TH629706 in Black, and part # TH629707 for Titan Silver. This roof box measures 77 long, 36 inches wide and 17 inches tall, giving you plenty of room for two average sized golf bags, plus a little extra room to fit them next to each other and store a little extra gear like shoes and carts if you need to. This box opens on both sides and has assist technology built in to make it easier to open. Additionally,...

To tow you will also need a ball mount and a ball, these will be dependent on the trailer you...

• Availability of Concealed Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Nissan Murano
• Class-III hitches with the 2 inch receiver opening are the only hitches our suppliers offer for the 2011 Nissan Murano. We offer the Curt # 13577 and the etrrailer # e65AR. This are extremely similar hitches and neither have hidden crossbars. The main difference between the two is that the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish and the Curt hitch has a shiny black finish. I personally think that the matte black looks better on the Murano and is not as noticeable as the shiny black....

• For your 2018 Nissan Murano the Draw Tite hitch part # 75952 is the best option. It has the best towing capacities at 4,000 lbs trailer capacity and 400 lb tongue weight as well as best price. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118660 which is our most reliable trailer wiring option we have.

• 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...

• Determining If Curt Trailer Hitch C13205 For 2016 Nissan Murano Can Tow U-Haul Cargo Trailer
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13205 you were looking at for your 2016 Nissan Murano has a 350lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating, but your vehicle has a 1500lb trailer weight rating and 150lb tongue weight rating per Nissan so you will need to make sure the trailer you plan on using does not exceed the lower ratings of 150/1500lbs. 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...

• 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. For your 2009 Nissan Murano we have two round tube hitches, one from Curt # 13577 and one from etrailer # e65AR, with the etrailer model #...

• Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Nissasn Murano that Can be 2-Bike or 4-Bike Rack
• I'd go with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Platform Rack part # HR1400Z. This is a 4 bike platform bike rack that can have half of the rack removed to leave you with just a 2 bike rack that would work well. Normally the bike rack setups like this are pretty expensive but this one is priced pretty decently and the Hollywood Racks are high quality racks and by far are the best bang for your buck. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
