Questions people ask
How much can a Nissan Altima tow?
Nissan publishes no towing rating for it: "Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle."
Can I add a hitch to the Altima?
A hitch doesn't create a rating. Without one from Nissan, there is no trailer weight the Altima is rated to pull — check your owner's manual before fitting one.
