Nissan Versa Towing

[Howard O. Truitt]

Rob,
Motor Home Magazine list the 2007 Nissan Versa "towable only with standard
transmission". Max speed 60mph/500 miles. Idle engine in neutral for several
minutes every 500 miles.
The Automatic Transmission is Not Towable.
We tow a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx with automatic transmission.

If it's a stick-shift, that my be all that's needed -- ensure it's in
neutral. Key would have to be in the ignition to unlock the steering
-- you'll need to check to see what's "on" with the steering lock
unlocked. (My Toyota turns on the dash clock, but it doesn't draw
much juice. I make sure the AC/Fan is off and shut the outside vent
so the car doesn't stink of diesel.) You may need to contact the
manufacturer, but they may not give you straight answers.

If you have an automatic transmission, it's likely that there's a
need for add-on appliances to make the vehicle tow-ready. Since the
Versa is a new model, Remco may not have info yet.
