Question:
Thule Easyfold XT 2-Bike Hitch Rack 2012 Nissan Murano Platinum AWD Description on bike rack says 1.25inch or 2inch receivers. If Im going with a 2inch receiver, how do I know if I need a round or square one?

Great question Rae, so from an in-use perspective there isn't really a difference between a square tube and round tube trailer hitch. So for your 2012 Nissan Murano where there are only round tube hitches available like the Curt # 13577 that would be what you would want to go with to use the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 you mentioned.
