towing with murano

Apr 14, 2004 5 Replies

Has anybody towed with one of these CVT deals?



My friend has one and she wants to tow her ATV but the murano she got did not come with a hitch, wiring assembly or even a bumper hole for a ball.



What the hell is the point of having a SUV / CUV if it wont tow.... i suppose the 4wd is a plus but if youre not going off road front wheel drive alone does pretty good, at least it always has for me... depends on the driver though.



Anyway i was just looking for some insight before my friend spends 200 bux on a hitch receiver, tow ball and assembly and wiring kit... jeez maybe more then 200



Thanks Kenny


Should be under $200 including lighting if you DIY (bolt-on, no drilling). Hidden Hitch has 1-1/4" receiver and Draw-Tite has 2" receiver. The Murano itself is rated to tow 3500 lbs. I just installed a class III Hidden Hitch myself on used 2001 Pathfinder.

I don't know where you live, but here in Dallas, U-Haul installs receiver hitches w/light hook-ups at a very reasonable price. You might want to look into that.....

thanks fore the info... are there wiring kits avalible where i dont have to tie into whats there.. in otherword is there plugs that go into the rear taillight plugs and from there well its like a y connector?

That would be ideal!

Yes, there are T-connectors that plug in to the tail lamp connectors with black box that ties everything together for 4 pin trailer plug. Just do a web search for 'nissan murano trailer hitch' and any of the links for hitches likely have a link for suggested wiring kit.

Well... since 99.5% of SUV buyers never tow anything or go offroad... there's probably not much point in including one with the vehicle.
