How to Tow 2020 Nissan Frontier With Automatic Transmission Behind Motorhome
Question:
What would I need to tow a 2020 Nissan Frontier SV automatic behind my Thor Miramar RV?

I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2020 Nissan Frontier, and it said that an automatic transmission cannot be flat towed behind a motorhome. A four-wheel drive '20 Frontier cannot be towed behind your motorhome at all, but the manual (on page 10-37 of the online version) said that if you have a two-wheel drive, it can be towed behind your motorhome, but only with a tow dolly.
For a tow dolly that will allow you to tow your Frontier, I highly recommend an option from Demco:
- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045
- Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093
These are by far the best option because because of how simple they are to use compared to other tow dollies. The Kar Kaddy X tilts down, while the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. The ramps on the SS also fold up, and it has a stow-away tongue which makes storage much easier with this dolly.
Additionally, both dollies also have a surge coupler to activate their hydraulic disc brakes so there is no messy wiring to worry about like with dollies that use electric brakes. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
