Availability of Concealed Hitch for 2017.5 Nissan Murano

Question

Question:

Does Drawtite or other manufacturer make a concealed crossbar hitch for the 2017.5 Murano? Load rating is not important as it will only be used for a bike rack.

There 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 for a bike rack, let me know what your ideal rack would be and I would be happy to make a recommendation.

I've included a link to an install video of the Draw-Tite hitch for you to take a look at as well.

In my opinion you are going in the right direction with a frame mounted receiver. The only advantage to a weld on application is that, if welded properly, the attachment point, weld, will be stronger than the hitch or trailer frame steel and one of…

The trailer hitch for a 2016 Nissan Murano like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part #e98907 installs using five M12-1.25" bolts. That said, the weld nuts that these bolts will thread into are located on the bottom of the frame and subjected…
