The 2017 Nissan Murano has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. This translates to a tongue weight rating of 350 pounds. This is pretty competitive for a small SUV like the Murano since it is built on a unibody platform. The engine in the 2017 Murano also makes 240 pound feet of torque. This is not a ton of torque, but it should be able to haul the 3,500 pounds at highway speeds with little to no problems. The payload capacity of the Murano is 1,095 to 1,227 pounds depending on the options that are selected on the vehicle. This includes the weight of the passengers in the cabin as well.
