I had this U-Haul hitch installed on my '09 SE this year - the exact same model #. What do you want to know about it? With the exception of (in my opinion) a rather loose fit between the hitch receptacle and the hitch ball unit, I'm happy with it, including the cost.

Don't know the model number but I have a U-Haul class 3 hitch on my 09 Murano and I am very happy with the installation. The hitch is barely visible with the receiver removed. U-Haul had no clue about how to install the wiring for the lights, and said it could void my warranty on electrical systems if they screwed with it, so I had that done by my Nissan dealer, using a Nissan OEM harness. The dealer had never installed the wiring before and so used my vehicle as a "learning experience" for their techs. They supplied the harness and performed the install at no charge---even rented a car from Enterprise for me so that they wouldn't feel rushed. Bet that never happens to me again. The finished wiring is perfect and invisible other than at the plug end. One thing I will note, the receiver that I use has a 2 1/2 inch rise---most vehicles use a drop. Don't know if this is a function of the Murano's height, or the height of the coupler on the trailer. All works really well. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. I found it on ebay for $120 with free shipping and I was trying to make my mind between this one and the Draw-Tite hitch.I've seen good feedbacks for the Draw-Tite but none for the U-Haul one.

Is it difficult to install it? Should I go to a shop for that or I can do it myself?

Thanks again.
