Your 2016 Nissan Murano did not come from the factory with a trailer wiring harness therefore if you will be towing a trailer you will need one and for this I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118660 which is a complete plug and play kit that will not require you to cut or splice any wires. We also have an install video of this hitch on a 2016 Nissan Murano which I have attached for you. This install will be even easier than a trailer hitch.

For a trailer hitch I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75952. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. Unlike Curt trailer hitches, the Draw-Tite hitches do not require the use of an additional stabilizer strap part # 18050 for non-towing applications.

To complete your towing setup you will also need a ball mount/hitch ball and for that I recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 which is an excellent starter kit. You will want to use the attached help article to ensure the ball mounts included in the above kit have the correct rise/drop for your vehicle/trailer.
