The 2024 Nissan Rogue is set to impress SUV buyers with its versatile towing capabilities. When choosing the right vehicle for your lifestyle, towing capacity is a crucial factor to consider. The 2024 Rogue offers a competitive towing capacity that allows you to bring along your favorite toys and gear on your adventures around St. Louis and beyond.

Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the 2024 Nissan Rogue boasts a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds. This impressive tow rating is achieved through the Rogue’s advanced 1.5-liter variable compression turbo engine, which delivers 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque, and the Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT).

It’s important to note that the published towing specs assume the vehicle carries only the driver, not family, friends, or the associated gear for the trip. Staying below 10% of the maximum towing capacity is recommended to account for miscalculations and shifting loads to ensure safe towing. Before attempting to tow anything behind your Nissan Rogue, you should research the trailer’s weight and determine the weight of any items you add to it, ensuring the total is under 1,500 pounds.

Cargo Volume

The 2024 Nissan Rogue offers ample cargo space for all your gear. With 36.5 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row and a generous 74.1 cubic feet with the seats folded down, you’ll have plenty of room to store your belongings alongside your towed trailer. This spacious cargo area makes the Rogue an ideal choice for those who need to transport both gear and passengers comfortably.

Payload Capacity

The Rogue has a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds, the maximum weight it can safely carry inside the vehicle, including passengers and cargo. This payload capacity ensures you can load up your Rogue with all the necessary items for your adventures without compromising the vehicle’s performance or safety.

Performance Features for Towing

The 2024 Nissan Rogue has an available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system to enhance its towing performance. This feature improves traction and stability, especially when towing in challenging weather conditions or uneven terrain. The Rogue also features advanced towing technologies, such as trailer sway control and tow mode. Trailer sway control helps maintain stability by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels when it detects any side-to-side movement. Tow mode optimizes the transmission and engine performance for smoother performance.

Other powertrain and driver-assistance technologies that contribute to the Nissan Rogue’s towing capacity and overall performance include the continuously variable valve timing control system, Eco, Sport, Snow, and Off-Road modes, paddle shifters, vehicle dynamic control with traction control system, and hill-start assist. These features work together to ensure your Rogue is ready to handle all your towing demands.

Trim Levels and Pricing

The tow package is available on select trim levels of the 2024 Nissan Rogue, allowing you to choose the features and amenities that best suit your needs and budget. The package can be added as an option on the SV and SL trims, while it comes standard on the top-of-the-line Platinum trim. Pricing for the tow package varies depending on the trim level, but you can expect to pay around $500 to $1,000 for this valuable addition.

Compared to other compact SUVs with similar towing ratings, the 2024 Nissan Rogue offers competitive pricing. The base model front-wheel-drive (FWD) Rogue S MSRP starts at $28,010, while the fully loaded Rogue Platinum AWD tops out at $40,630. Remember that these prices don’t include destination charges, taxes, or other fees.

Using the Right Trailer Hitch

Using the right trailer hitch is crucial to safe towing. The 2024 Nissan Rogue is compatible with Class II and III hitches, depending on the trim level and towing package. Class II hitches can pull up to 3,500 pounds and withstand a tongue weight of 350 pounds, while Class III hitches can pull up to 8,000 pounds and withstand a tongue weight of 800 pounds. Choose the appropriate hitch for your towing needs, and ensure it’s properly installed and maintained.

Nissan Rogue Towing Capacity FAQs

Is it possible to flat tow a Nissan Rogue?

Flat towing involves pulling a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground and isn’t recommended for a Nissan Rogue. This method can potentially damage the internal components of the SUV’s CVT. You may use a suitable tow dolly to support the front wheels if you have a Nissan Rogue FWD model. However, it’s essential to note that flat towing or using a tow dolly should never be attempted with an AWD Rogue model.

What types of items can be towed by a Nissan Rogue?

With its 1,500-pound towing capacity, a properly equipped Nissan Rogue can handle various towing tasks, such as pulling a lightweight camper trailer, a personal watercraft, or a small utility trailer filled with equipment. However, you must carefully assess the trailer weight and any additional items being loaded onto it, ensuring that the total weight doesn’t surpass the 1,500-pound limit. Make sure you research before attempting to tow anything with your Nissan Rogue SUV.
