Towing and Payload: What Nissan Trucks and Vans Can Really Do for You

Towing and Hauling: A Real Need Across Quebec

Whether you're a contractor in Lévis, an outdoor enthusiast heading up to Charlevoix every summer, or a small business owner serving Montmagny and Laurier Station, your vehicle's towing and payload capacity can make a genuine difference day to day.

Nissan offers two work-ready vehicles that are especially well suited to Quebec drivers: the Nissan Frontier and the Nissan NV Cargo (subject to availability).

The Nissan Frontier: Compact Size, Serious Muscle

The Frontier is Nissan's midsize truck, but don't let that fool you. Here's what it brings to the table:

• Towing capacity: up to 6,720 lb with the 3.8L V6 engine
• Payload: up to 1,610 lb in the bed
• 4x4 available — essential when you're navigating icy back roads around Lévis in January
• Choice of a 5-foot or 6-foot bed depending on configuration

That's more than enough to tow an ATV trailer, a fishing boat, or light construction equipment.

The Work Van: Interior Space Done Right

For those who need enclosed cargo space rather than an open bed, the Nissan NV cargo van delivers impressive payload capacity — up to 3,720 lb depending on the trim — and one of the largest cargo volumes in its class. It's a natural fit for electricians, plumbers, or catering businesses operating across the greater Lévis area.

Practical Tips for Winter Towing

• Always check the rated towing capacity in your owner's manual before hitching up
• Use certified winter tires (mandatory in Quebec from December 1 to March 15)
• Slow down on highway on-ramps and rural roads
• Allow for significantly longer braking distances, especially on Highway 20 between Lévis and Montmagny
