2016 Nissan Rogue Trims
Towing capacity by engine

Choose a towing vehicle wisely. Make sure the engine has enough power, the gearbox is capable of withstanding heavy loads, and the axle ratio is optimal for hauling.

  • 2.5L I-4, 5.69 axle ratio, 170 hp, 175 lb/ft - 1,000 lbs

S 4dr Front-wheel Drive

Maximum Towing Capacity - 1000 lb
?

It is the same for all trims.

The maximum weight that Nissan Rogue is allowed to tow. The maximum trailer weights listed are only applicable for altitudes up to 3280 ft (1,000 m) above sea level. With increasing altitude the engine power and therefore the car's climbing ability are impaired because of the reduced air density, so the maximum trailer weight has to be reduced accordingly. The weight of the car and trailer must be reduced by 10% for every further 3280 ft (1,000 m) (or part thereof).

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) - 4330 lb

This is the maximum amount of weight Nissan Rogue is rated to carry (engine, chassis, fluids, passengers, cargo, load - everything). It is often determined by the manufacturer and is indicated in the owner's manual or on the inside of the drive's door panel.

Curb Weight - 3408 lb

This is how much Nissan Rogue weighs sitting on the curb with no driver, passengers, no cargo and no load with all standard options.

Payload Capacity - 922 lb

Payload is considered all the extra stuff you put inside your vehicle, whether it be passengers or a pile of rocks, that weight is all considered payload. You can increase it by:

  1. Upgrading the Rear Springs.
  2. Adding Coil-Over Shock Absorbers.
  3. Installing a Longer Truck Bed.
  4. Attaching a Trailer.
  5. Adding Bed Racks.

Horsepower - 170 hp
?

It is the same for all trims.

The higher the power of your engine, the more weight your car can pull.

Torque - 175 Lb-Ft
?

It is the same for all trims.

High torque is essential for towing because it allows you to pull the trailer at a lower RPM, reducing the strain on the engine.

Axle Ratio - 5.69
?

It is the same for all trims.

The higher the axle ratio, the more power your vehicle produces, and as a result, the more weight this car can tow.

Drive Type - front-wheel

All-wheel or rear-wheel drive vehicles are best suited for towing, while front-wheel drive vehicles can haul much less weight.

Transmission - Xtronic 2-spd CVT w/OD
?

It is the same for all trims.

Do not overload your vehicle while towing, as this can cause the transmission to overheat and fail. If your transmission has "Towing mode" - be sure to turn it on.

Turbocharger - no data

Turbocharged engines produce more power, so if you need a vehicle for towing, choose the one equipped with a turbo.

Wheelbase - 106.5
?

It is the same for all trims.

The longer your vehicle's wheelbase, the less likely the trailer you tow will push down on the rear axle and lift the front end.

Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) - no data

It is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a front axle of your Nissan Rogue.

Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) - no data

It is the maximum allowable weight that can be placed on a rear axle of your Nissan Rogue.

What is a 2016 Nissan Rogue maximum towing capacity?

When organizing exciting outings outside, you will need to remember the 2016 Nissan Rogue towing capacity, which is the most important feature for such endevour. The towing capacity is really the vehicle's greatest amount of weight that it may safely pull. This info can usually be located on a sticker label situated within the driver's door near the door latch. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the greatest functional weight (that includes freight and passengers) and should not be surpassed. Usually, the body weight of a trailer being pulled is recommended to be kept within 10-15 per cent of the GVWR.

In this section, we list the data about the towing capacity of the 2016 Nissan Rogue with all trims and generations. You should be aware that the maximum towing weight can vary based on the braking system of what is being pulled. When a trailer has its own brakes then it is "braked capacity". Otherwise, it is actually unbraked capacity. When purchasing the future RV, you should take into account that the weight and rating is extracted from the trailer's producer plus all of the added payload you are going to take in it needs to never surpass the 2016 Nissan Rogue towing capacity. Violating this important rule will affect what you can do to control and stop in time and can in the end result in long lasting damage to your car or even cause crashes on the roads.

PAY ATTENTION

Drivers must not exceed the Nissan Rogue towing capacity as it can have serious consequences such as interfering with your car's braking ability

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has developed the J2807 set of recommended practices. The tow test procedures designed by the big brains at the SAE consist of a series of rigorous real-world challenges to determine the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of a vehicle and trailer combination.
