Can you flat tow a Nissan Pathfinder?

We’re taking a trip up north in the motorhome and I want to bring an extra vehicle along with us. I have a 2019 Nissan Pathfinder—can I tow it behind the RV?

Bringing another car will make it so much easier to get around and explore your destination—but unfortunately, you can’t flat tow a Nissan Pathfinder of any model year.
Until recently, the Pathfinder used continuously-variable transmissions (CVTs) on their cars, which are not compatible with flat towing. But even a brand new 2022 Pathfinder—which does not have a CVT—still shouldn’t be flat towed. In general, it’s not safe to flat tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission.
If you want to take your Pathfinder with you, you’ll have to use a tow dolly or a trailer pulled behind your RV.
Before you hit the road, you should make sure your
Pathfinder’s car insurance
is up to par—and that you’re getting the best insurance rate for it.
