Anyone towing the Nissan Versa? My buddy just bought one and all the manual
says is "ensure transmission is in neutral". We all know it is usually more
complicated than that like periodic engine running, certain fuses to pull,
key position etc etc. No info on the REMCO site

If it's a stick-shift, that my be all that's needed -- ensure it's in
neutral. Key would have to be in the ignition to unlock the steering
-- you'll need to check to see what's "on" with the steering lock
unlocked. (My Toyota turns on the dash clock, but it doesn't draw
much juice. I make sure the AC/Fan is off and shut the outside vent
so the car doesn't stink of diesel.) You may need to contact the
manufacturer, but they may not give you straight answers.

If you have an automatic transmission, it's likely that there's a
need for add-on appliances to make the vehicle tow-ready. Since the
Versa is a new model, Remco may not have info yet.

Thanks Pete. It is a standard like my Civic toad. I gave him pretty much the
same advice but was unable to find out if the car had to be started every
XXX miles like some toads have to be. That and of course any other 'non
usual' towing requirements that may be part of the Versa toad question. As
an aside I found a Nissan site with a Versa forum so we'll see what help we
can illicit there

Rob,
Motor Home Magazine list the 2007 Nissan Versa "towable only with standard
transmission". Max speed 60mph/500 miles. Idle engine in neutral for several
minutes every 500 miles.
The Automatic Transmission is Not Towable.
We tow a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx with automatic transmission.
