Example: Nissan Arcadia.. and I would like to know if there are any problems with using a front wheel car for towing? My wife and I are new at this and need some direction. We plan to travel through out the United States...Not during the winter months...If any of you are suing a front wheel drive vehicle... Any problems? Thank you in advance!!!

Second unloading weight from the front axle would cause traction issues.
