Can you flat tow a 2017 Nissan Frontier?

I just bought a 2017 Nissan Frontier that I want to gift to my daughter in Alabama. I plan to flat tow it behind my motorhome. Is this possible?

What a great gift! A 2017 Nissan Frontier can be flat towed, as long as it has a manual transmission.
Flat towing a Nissan Frontier with an automatic transmission will damage the transmission.
The steps for towing a 2017 Nissan Frontier with a manual transmission are:
  • Attach the tow hitch.
  • Install a base plate on the Frontier.
  • Use a wiring kit to enable the Frontier’s brake and tail lights to operate during towing.
  • Attach safety cables.
  • Add a supplemental braking system.
Consult your owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
