Is Torque Wrench Needed When Installing Draw Tite Hitch on 2020 Nissan Murano
Question:
I have a 2020 Nissan Murano. I want this hitch only for using a bike rack with 2 bikes. We dont have a torque wrench, is one really needed?

I can't recommend you attempt to install the Draw Tite hitch part # 75952 that you referenced on your 2020 Nissan Murano without using a torque wrench to get the hardware to the correct torque spec, but you have a few pretty easy options. If I were you I would go to a local car parts store and ask about renting/borrowing one. Typically they'll let you borrow on for a couple hours really easily.
Another really easy option is our Powerbuilt Torque wrench part # ALL644044 which you could order with the hitch.
