2010 Nissan Rogue Krom Towing Capacity

Q: How much can I actually tow with my 2010 Nissan Rogue Krom?

Your 2010 Nissan Rogue Krom can tow up to 1,000 lbs according to the manufacturer. But here's our advice: stay around 80% of that (about 800 lbs) for a much better towing experience. You'll have room for hills, headwinds, and those unexpected moments on the road.

Q: What about payload — how much stuff can I put in the truck?

You've got 1,026 lbs of payload capacity. That's everything that goes IN your truck: passengers, camping gear, coolers, and don't forget — the tongue weight from your trailer counts too. It adds up faster than you'd think!

Q: What kind of hitch do I need for my Rogue?

For your 1,000 lbs towing capacity, you'll want a Class II hitch. Make sure whatever hitch you buy is rated for the weight you're actually planning to tow — not just the minimum.

Light Duty Towing Class

At 1,000 lbs, you'll want to stick with lighter trailers. We always recommend staying around 80% of your max (that's 800 lbs for you) — it's easier on your truck and gives you a safety buffer for hills and headwinds.

What Real Owners Get

We pulled data from 67 actual Rogue owners — they're averaging 21.3 mpg day-to-day. Once you hook up a trailer, expect somewhere between 11.7-16 mpg depending on what you're pulling.

Budget Your Trip

Let's say you're planning a 500-mile trip while towing. At 11.7 mpg, you're looking at roughly $137 in fuel. That works out to about $27 per 100 miles — handy to know when you're planning adventures.

Don't Forget Tongue Weight

Your payload is 1,026 lbs — but after you add passengers and gear, figure you've got about 616 lbs left for tongue weight. Quick rule: tongue weight is usually 10-15% of your trailer's total weight.

RVs That Fit Your Truck

These all fall within your safe towing range of 800 lbs (we use 80% of max to give you breathing room)
