When shopping for a new vehicle, towing capacity might be crucial to you. For our customers who need to haul campers, ATVs, boats, and more, it's important to understand a vehicle's towing capacity before buying it. Towing capacity is the weight your vehicle can pull safely. Towing more weight than your vehicle can handle can be dangerous. It can lead to trailering, swinging and swaying, losing control, or difficulty stopping. Your vehicle's payload is the weight of the cargo and passengers combined, along with other sources of weight, such as a tow ball.
The Nissan Frontier is a popular choice for people looking for a vehicle with a high towing capacity. That's why we at Tracy Nissan have put together this guide to help you decide if the 2024 Nissan Frontier is the right vehicle for you and your towing needs.

What Can It Tow?
Depending on towing capacity and equipment, the 2024 Frontier can reliably tow many things you'd need for a summer weekend, family road trip, and more. For example, you could tow a ski boat, toy hauler, or flatbed trailer with ATVs. For trucks towing 5,000 pounds or less, small trailers and car dollies are great options. For trucks able to tow fewer than 10,000 pounds, which includes all 2024 Nissan Frontiers, camping trailers and appropriately sized boats are a great fit. Whatever you decide to haul, you must not exceed your vehicle's towing capacity and maximum payload.
