Nissan Murano Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Nissan Murano in Canada? This guide walks the year landers we publish today, compares the Class 3 receivers we stock, and stays honest about the mid-generation gap where we have wiring but no hitch SKU.

Built for Canadian Murano owners. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts. New to hitches? Start with the buying guide, Class 3 versus Class 4, and wiring guide. Or open the towing guides hub.

Watch these CURT videos first

All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). CURT publishes a Murano install for CURT 13577. A dedicated CURT 13205 install for the current generation is not on the channel today, so we also include selection, install technique, and wiring videos that still apply.

Murano years and hitch shopping

Murano hitch shopping is simple when the year matches a stocked Class 3 SKU — and honest when it does not. CURT 13205 covers 2015 through 2024 with a two-inch Class 3 receiver. Early Muranos from 2003 through 2007 use CURT 13571. The 2008 through 2014 generation is the hard gap: we stock custom wiring for many of those years, but we do not invent a hitch SKU that is missing from the active catalog.

Years What we usually stock
2015–2024 Class 3: CURT 13205 with a two-inch receiver (up to 3,500 lb GTW and 350 lb tongue on the card). Wiring: CURT 56267 four-flat for the same years. Live year landers exist for 2015, 2016, and 2019–2023 — we do not invent 2017, 2018, or 2024 landers.
2003–2007 Class 3: CURT 13571 with a two-inch receiver (up to 3,500 lb GTW and 350 lb tongue on the card). Wiring: CURT 55571 for 2003–2005 and CURT 56425 for 2006–2007.
2008–2014 gap No Murano hitch SKU for this generation is in our active CURT list today. Wiring still exists for many of those years via CURT 55571 (2009–2014). Use Shop by Vehicle or contact support rather than forcing a 13205 or 13571 onto the wrong years.
Catalog honesty We publish Murano hitch landers for 2003–2007, 2015–2016, and 2019–2023 only. Missing years are missing on purpose — we will not invent landers or hitch SKUs to fill the mid-generation gap.

Never exceed the vehicle maker’s tow rating for your trim and drivetrain. Treat the hitch as a ceiling, not a target.

Honest limits

Vehicle rating wins

Murano tow packages are crossover rated. Size the trailer to Nissan’s published limit first, then pick the receiver that matches your years.

  • Hitch class is not a tow package
  • Missing year landers are called out above
  • Tongue weight matters as much as GTW

Step 1Open your year

Use the live Murano landers above when they match your model year.

Step 2Match the CURT SKU

CURT 13205 for 2015–2024, or CURT 13571 for 2003–2007. Skip inventing a hitch for 2008–2014.

Step 3Respect Nissan’s limit

Read the door sticker and owner’s manual before you size a trailer or cargo carrier.

Step 4Add lights and a ball mount

Use the wiring guide and the ball mount guide.

Canada checklist

  • Believe Nissan’s tow rating for your Murano trim — crossover numbers stay modest.
  • 2008–2014 has wiring without a hitch SKU in our active list — that gap is intentional honesty.
  • Missing year landers stay missing — we only link 2003–2007, 2015–2016, and 2019–2023.
  • Plan for salt season — rinse the open-back receiver and protect the wiring plug when you can.
