There is a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2018 Nissan Murano, and the best option for a fit is from Draw-Tite:

- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75952

There are a couple reasons the Draw-Tite # 75952 is the best option for your '18 Murano, starting with the fact it has the best bumper and ground clearances so it will be easier to use for either a ball mount or accessory so you don't have to reach so far back under the vehicle. It will also help keep accessories like bike racks from contacting the ground or your Murano to keep things safe from possible damage.

It also has the highest towing and tongue weight capacities which speaks to its strength, and can be used with a weight distribution system if you need one for towing. Should you be using it for towing, you'll also need a 4-way wiring harness, with the correct fit for your '18 Murano being the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118660.
