Know your stuff

Towing requires a variety of equipment, and, depending upon the application, there can be several types or styles of each piece of equipment. Working with your Nissan dealer or a professional supplier of towing equipment, it should be relatively simple to determine the proper type of equipment for your specific vehicle given the intended application.[[114]]

Keep prepared

Keep in mind, too, that towing places higher demands and added loads on vehicle components, so more frequent maintenance is called for. Your Nissan Service & Maintenance Guide provides the accelerated maintenance schedule for towing purposes. Engine oil, filter, transmission fluid, and possibly other fluids should be changed more frequently when towing.[[114]]

Be cautious

Towing a trailer will affect your vehicles performance. Acceleration and braking will be slowed, and your load can affect the stability and handling of your vehicle. If possible, practice in an uncrowded area before you hit the open road.[[114]]
