anybody know if you can put a tow hitch on the back of the coupe yet?? i got an emergency and need to haul a little u-haul trailer out of town. the cheapest way i can think is to put a hitch on. i know it sounds crazy but if you have any info... i would appreciate it...

Check the owners manual. It should have towing capacity and such info in there. I wouldn't imagine towing is recommended by Nissan however. Lots of strain on the engine and transmission, and if you have the CVT i dunno that the transmission is proven at towing at all. But if you did look at a hitch you could probably try a Class 1 universal hitch. Someone at the U-haul can lead you in the right direction. Best of luck tho

damn 150 bucks. so much for it being cheaper to rent a u-haul. Might as well rent a 1/2 ton pickup with a camper shell.
