All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Nissan Murano (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 400 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Nissan Murano (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, Curt part number 13577 is designed for the Nissan Murano. Before purchasing, confirm your vehicle's towing capacity with your vehicle manufacturer, as the hitch must not exceed that limit.

The kit includes 4 HHCS M12×1.25×30 bolts (class 10.9, zinc-plated) and 4 S-CON washers (1/2"). One factory bolt from the tie-down bracket is also reused during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch attaches to existing frame nuts on the vehicle.
Yes, the exhaust must be lowered before installation. You will remove 4 rubber exhaust isolators at the rear of the vehicle. Spraying lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and rubber isolator helps with removal. The isolators are reinstalled after the hitch is mounted.
Yes, the tie-down bracket must be removed. It is held by 4 bolts. Remove all 4 bolts and return 3 of them to the vehicle owner. One bolt will be reused during hitch installation.
1. Lower the exhaust by removing 4 rubber isolators. 2. Remove 4 bolts from the tie-down bracket; keep 1 bolt for reuse. 3. Use an M12-1.25 tap to clean undercoating from frame nuts if needed. 4. Raise the hitch into position between the exhaust tip(s) and attach using the supplied 12mm bolts, washers, and the factory bolt. 5. Torque fasteners. 6. Reinstall the rubber exhaust isolators.
Torque all 8mm fasteners to 23 lb-ft and all 12mm fasteners to 86 lb-ft.
The hitch is attached using 4 supplied M12×1.25×30 bolts (class 10.9, zinc-plated) with washers, plus 1 factory bolt from the tie-down bracket. All 12mm fasteners are torqued to 86 lb-ft.
An M12-1.25 tap may be needed to clean undercoating from the frame nuts before installation. Use it only if undercoating is present and prevents proper bolt installation.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and warranty coverage.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch must be used within the limits set by Nissan for your Murano model year. Check your vehicle's owner manual or contact the manufacturer for the specific towing capacity.

Yes, the Curt 55571 is designed for Nissan Murano SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans (S-class). The harness connects to the vehicle's existing taillight wiring and includes a converter box mounted in the spare tire compartment.
The Curt 55571 is a custom wiring harness that integrates with your vehicle's taillight system. It includes a converter box and connects to a 4-flat connector for trailer use. Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and tail/running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. The manual also mentions you may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw if a suitable existing screw is not available.
Open the tailgate and fold down the rear seats. Remove the floor coverings, spare tire compartment cover, and storage trays on each side of the spare tire. Remove the rear scuff panel fasteners and the panel itself. Remove the 10mm bolts securing the cargo loops on each side, and remove the plastic fasteners and rear trim panels. These items must be reinstalled after installation.
Drilling is not always required. You should first locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. Only if no suitable existing screw is available should you drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces to avoid damage and personal injury.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. The manual specifies that you should locate the 'Tow Lamp (30A)' fuse location in the fuse box to the left of the battery and insert the provided 10-amp fuse. If a 30-amp fuse is already in that location, remove it and replace it with the provided 10-amp fuse. Do not exceed 10 amps, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors behind the removed trim panels. The custom wiring harness has two ends: one with a yellow wire for the driver side and one with a green wire for the passenger side. Insert each harness end between the separated taillight connectors, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Take care not to damage the locking tabs during insertion.
The white ground wire should be secured to a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector. This can be an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or you can drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
The black converter box should be mounted in the spare tire compartment close to the back of the vehicle on the driver side. It is adhered using the provided double-sided tape. Make sure the location does not interfere with anything removed during installation.
On the driver's side of the vehicle, locate the existing factory wiring harness and find the single pin connector. This connector will mate with the connector on the black power wire. Insert the connector into the vehicle's connector, ensuring it is fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly. Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer. This will verify that the signal and tail/running circuits are working correctly.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and tail/running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw.
The Curt 55571 includes a custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal and screw, a 10-amp fuse, a 4-flat dust cover, and cable ties for securing loose wires.
Yes. After completing all installation steps, you must reinstall all items removed during installation, including the floor coverings, spare tire compartment cover, storage trays, rear scuff panel, cargo loops, and rear trim panels. Also install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
