2016 Nissan Frontier flat tow

Just got a conformation from Nissan that you can flat tow a 2016 Frontier 4wd with a manual transmission. Just follow the instruction in the owners manual. i am a happier camper now, thought I was going to have to buy a trailer tow haul it on.

Base model 2009 XE 4cyl 5 speed manual King Cab

Mine is a 2016 Frontier 4wd manual transmission, the sv series. So you say you are towing a frontier?
What model etc.?

What is the Model Year of the Frontier you're interested in? An OP here was interested in a 2017-something and I could get only the 2016 owner manual on line. Was that you?

I wanted a Tacoma (till I drove it, more later...) and ruled it out based on the owner manual prohibition. Next up was Ranger (they were still building them) and the ride was punishing. Then Frontier... Best ride, best price, towing allowed per owner manual. It drives well, has been very reliable, and we've found it very quiet. More like a midsize car than a truck. Minor gripe, front doors open so far it's hard to reach the handle from the seat when they're open to the wide detent. Bigger gripe, very large turning circle.

I wanted a base model but with extended cab. In Frontier, that's standard. Anyhow, at least in 2009, the Tacoma simply under delivered.

The truck that over delivered in a couple interesting ways was Ranger. Yes, ride was sub par, but steering was tight, small radius, and the engine had a spunky feel. Frontier seemed average, and Tacoma seemed lazy.

Thanks that is the way I understand the instructions in the owners manual. i have sent email to Nissan for conformation on this but as of this time they say not to flat tow, but I am still talking to them.

I tow a 2WD 2009 4-cyl 5-speed and another OP here just got a 2016 V6 6-speed, don't know if his is 2WD or 4x4. The 4x4, manual transmission, is to be towed with the Transfer Case in 2WD High Range. That essentially makes the 4x4 a 2WD. Then the manual transmission is placed in Neutral for being towed. The Frontier transfer case doesn't have a Neutral position, so the Automatic 4x4 can't be towed such as many can.

With manual transmission, Nissan has no speed limit for towing, but would like the engine idled in neutral (clutch engaged) every few hundred miles.
