Nissan Altima Towing by Year
The Nissan Altima has a listed towing capacity of 1,000 lb for the catalog years shown. This is the figure to use as a reference when comparing the Altima’s towing capacity across those years; it does not establish that every individual vehicle is equipped or approved to tow the same load.
The catalog covers the Altima from 1999 through 2022 and lists 1,000 lb as its towing figure. The supplied facts do not give separate ratings by year, trim, or engine, so they do not show whether a particular version has a different limit. Check the vehicle’s door-jamb label or owner’s manual to confirm the applicable capacity before towing.
Towing limits and safe operating conditions can depend on the specific vehicle and its equipment. Use the rating in the owner’s manual or on the door jamb if it differs from this catalog figure, and do not assume that the catalog number applies to a vehicle whose documentation has not been checked.
