Nissan Murano (2017–Present) Hitch Installation
Vehicle Coverage: 2017–Present Nissan Murano; exact trim and tow-package fitment are verified before scheduling
Receiver: Fixed 2-inch receiver
Hitch Rating: 3,500 lbs towing / 350 lbs tongue weight, subject to the vehicle manufacturer's limits
Installation Time: Typically up to 1 hour
The Murano receiver installs at five existing frame weldnuts. A factory tie-down bracket is removed when present, but the bumper remains in place and no drilling is required.
1. Removing the Interfering Tie-Down Bracket
When equipped, the factory tie-down bracket occupies the hitch mounting area and is removed. The original bracket and hardware are retained for the owner.
2. Cleaning the Existing Weldnuts
Road coating and debris are cleared from the five threaded mounting points before structural hardware is introduced.
3. Positioning the Hitch Around the Exhaust
The receiver is raised between the exhaust outlet area and frame rails, then all five bolts are started loosely to protect the threads.
4. Centering and Torquing the Receiver
The hitch is aligned evenly beneath the fascia and each mounting bolt is tightened in sequence to the manufacturer’s specification.
5. Final Appearance and Clearance Check
We verify receiver alignment and confirm clearance around the exhaust, rear fascia, and underbody components to prevent contact or rattling.
Finished Appearance: The receiver and cross tube remain visible below the lower rear fascia, giving customers an honest view of the finished installation. The installed-vehicle photo is shown using Fit so the full rear view remains visible without cropping.
