According to Thule there are several trunk mounted bike racks that will fit your 2011 Nissan Murano. Thule also indicates that only 2 bike racks can be used because the vehicle is unable to support a 3 bike rack. First, you can use the Passage 2, # TH910XT. This is a very economical bike rack, part of the previous generation of racks.

However, if you are looking for the very best rack, look no further than the OutWay # TH45JV. This rack is very light weight at 13 pounds, has narrow arms to fit a wider variety of bikes, and has retractable cables. The other racks use 4-6 straps which are safe and secure but can take longer and be more cumbersome to install. The 2 cables on the Outway make installation and removal quick and easy. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

For any of these racks, if you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video demonstrating how the adapter works.
