Tips for Towing With Your Nissan in Greenville, MS

Nissan builds vehicles that can tow well over 10,000 pounds worth of your cargo, which means your job just got easier and your vacation just became more fun. Towing comes with much responsibility, and it’s always helpful to have a clear idea of the precautions you should take before driving with a trailer attached.
 
Weight capacities
 
Every new Nissan truck or SUV will have the towing weight capacity for your specific model clearly written in the manual, told to you during the sales process, and available online. Never exceed the weight capacity for any reason while towing. Doing so presents a considerable risk to your vehicle, your passengers, and yourself.
 
Maintenance
 
Your Nissan will do its best towing when it’s in optimal shape. Regular maintenance at service centers such as James Ceranti Nissan will help ensure that your Nissan is ready to haul thousands of pounds across hundreds of miles.
 
Check all tires
 
Your tires must be at the recommended PSI, or pounds-per-square-inch level before towing. Conduct a thorough check of your Nissan’s tires to ensure they are ready to tow. You must also examine your trailer tires for wear and tear from outside storage, such as dry rot or cracks. Make sure the tread is at a safe level and tighten the wheel lug nuts on both your Nissan and the trailer to the specified torques.
 
Which Nissan?
 
The 2020 Nissan Titan and Titan XD are pickup trucks which can tow 9,310 pounds and 11,040 pounds respectively. If you and your family are better suited to an SUV, the 2020 Nissan Armada can tow 8,500 pounds and the 2020 Pathfinder will carry up to 6,000 pounds of equipment. Accessories such as the fifth-wheel adapter and telescoping tow mirrors make the process easier and safer.
