Does/has anyone towed there boat w/an Xterra. I have an 06 Outback V and was wondering if my wife's 06 Xterra would tow it okay. I normally tow w/my 1500 Z71 but the steering box went out and I don't know how long it will take them to fix it. So if I wanna go ride my only tow rig is my wife's Xterra. Thanks all.

The new ones are rated at 5k i think...but i wouldn't tow it too far. Too short a wheelbase to do any long hauls safely.

My lady and I have an 07 Xterra and I have though about towing the boat with it. I don't have a hitch on mine yet so I have not. I have an 07 GMC Serria so I have not got to tow with the Xterra. I think It could but I wouldnt tow to far they have a ton of power for a V6 4.0

I have an 06 Nismo Frontier, and as said before, it's a great rig for just towing around town and to/from the ramp. If you have to go anywhere that requres some distance and hills, get a friend who has a diesel or a big v8/10.

I think the furthest I have towed is about an hour away. I need to put an additional tranny cooler on this spring if i decide to tow it alot.

Oh, and I have an 01 X-Star on tandem.

Hey Jay, where do you live? We've got a sierra and xterra in our driveway too, along with a non-standard boat (MB)...kooky.

Tony I Live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. I dont have my GMC yet I get it tommorow I had to order it because I got the 6.0 Vortec max engine and I could not find one with the options I wanted. I sold my F 150 I can't wait to get my new truck. I will have a Black 07 GMC, Dark Grey 07 Xterra off road and a Blue & White 05 Centurion Lightning. My driveway is full.

There's someone I've seen twice pulling a 23 LSV without a problem.

Use the Xterra for short trips to home lake. Dodge Ram for long trips.

kinda scarey when the tow'ee weighs more than the tow'er...good luck, hope you're not on the same highway that I'm on!!!
