Hills and all four seasons change how you load up, so this page stays with plain facts. You will see what can lower the towing limit, what a trailer setup calls for and how the cargo area folds, opens and ties down. The figures come from Nissan’s own published specifications and the Owner’s Manual.

Towing around Middle Tennessee means hills and summer heat. On the 2027 Nissan Murano, the rating is up to 1,500 lbs, shared by SL, Dark Armor and Platinum. Capacity varies by configuration, so check the Owner’s Manual. Nissan lists what affects the number: road grades, payload, tow weight and weather, including high temperatures.
The rating assumes the driver and any required options, so passengers, cargo and added equipment lower the maximum. For the hookup, Genuine Nissan accessories include a Tow Hitch Receiver Kit, Class I and a Trailer Tow Harness (4-pin). According to Nissan’s Towing Guide, most states require separate brakes on trailers weighing 1,500 lbs or more loaded. Check Tennessee’s rules.
- Every grade tows up to 1,500 lbs
- Tongue load tops out at 150 lbs, the Owner’s Manual says
- Within that, keep it 10 to 15 percent of trailer load
- Manual: heavy trailer, high heat and grades can affect engine performance
- Owner’s Manual break-in: first 500 miles, skip trailers and heavy loads
2027 Nissan Murano Towing & Performance Features
V
Hills and long highway days with a load come down to traction and torque. Each 2027 Nissan Murano has Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. It reads road conditions and can respond to help provide traction. The 2.0-liter VC-Turbo inline-4 is rated at 241 horsepower, and torque is 260 lb-ft. The 9-speed automatic adds paddle shifters.
Sport, Standard, Eco and Snow share one Drive Mode Selector across all three grades. Sport raises engine and transmission response. Leave Eco for lighter days, since the Owner’s Manual recommends another mode for heavy loads and steep climbs. Winter gets Snow Mode, new for 2027. Select it for snowy and frozen roads, not dry pavement.
- Torque rating: 260 lb-ft; peak horsepower: 241 at 5,600 rpm
- Every grade carries hill start assist and Active Brake Limited Slip
- Trailer light check lets one person confirm lights, if so equipped
- Idle stop/start: best disabled when towing, says the Owner’s Manual
- Owner’s Manual caps your first 500 towing miles at 50 mph
