2020 Nissan Rogue Manual Says Not to Tow But There Are Hitches Available Can I Tow a Trailer?

Question:

I just bought a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport and the owners manual says that the vehicle isn't supposed to be towed with, but you have trailer hitches available- does that mean I can actually tow with it? I've been thinking of buying a small pop-up camper.

It's always best to follow the recommendations that are stated in your owner's manual, so I would not recommend towing a trailer of any size with your 2020 Nissan Rogue. With that being said, hitch manufacturers will manufacture a hitch for any vehicle that has a demand for it- and there are some great reasons that people would want hitches that don't involve towing.

Lots of users want to be able to carry bike racks and cargo carriers on the backs of their vehicles, so a hitch like the Curt # C13204 provides Rogue owners with a sturdy option to mount a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This is a great solutions that allows you to carry bikes outside of the vehicle and provides you with more room for your passengers to stay comfortable.
