Dang, wish I'd bought a CX-9 instead of that Murano. It would've been a better fit no doubt than the Murano for my 17B and wouldn't have needed that new Highlander which I traded in six months later...

What about the Mazda CX-9? The couple who bought my 17B have one with a factory tow package, although like Baglo had to swap out the 1.5" receiver hitch with an aftermarket 2" for the WDH.

Just remembered that at least for the 2013 model year all SE models had the tow package as standard- whether or not you got the factory receiver hitch.
