How Much Can the 2025 Nissan Armada Tow? A Complete Guide

The 2025 Nissan Armada tows up to 3,856 kg (8,500 pounds), positioning it as a powerhouse for Fredericton families who need serious hauling capability. This impressive capacity makes the new Armada perfect for towing everything from boats for weekend trips to Grand Lake to campers for family adventures in Fundy National Park.

Powerful Performance for Confident Towing  

Your towing confidence starts with the Armada's all-new twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 engine. This powerplant delivers 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, giving you substantial pulling power for any task. The new 9-speed automatic transmission, paired with standard Intelligent 4WD, ensures smooth power delivery and enhanced control, especially important when navigating New Brunswick's varying terrain and weather conditions.

Advanced Towing Technology for Added Security  

The 2025 Armada introduces several new towing technologies that transform the towing experience. The standard Trailer Sway Control automatically detects and corrects trailer sway, while the new Trailer Blind Spot Warning system monitors your blind spots even when towing trailers up to 10 metres (33 feet) in length. For precise hitching and backing, the Trailer Back-up Assist system provides clear guidance through the advanced camera system.

Smart Features for Real-World Use  

Fredericton drivers will appreciate the practical towing features built into every 2025 Armada. The standard Class IV tow hitch receiver comes with a 7-pin wiring harness pre-installed. PRO-4X and Platinum Reserve grades include an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, essential for managing heavier loads on steep grades like those found around the Saint John River Valley.

Towing Specifications That Matter  

Understanding your Armada's exact towing capabilities helps ensure safe hauling. The maximum tongue weight rating of 386 kg (850 pounds) provides stable towing across all conditions. The new frame design, featuring 25% greater torsional rigidity, creates a solid foundation for confident towing. These specifications remain consistent across all trim levels, from the SL to the Platinum Reserve.

Year-Round Towing Capability  

The Armada's towing prowess extends through all seasons. The standard Snow Mode in the drive mode selector adjusts power delivery for winter conditions, while the Tow Mode optimizes transmission performance for hauling. The enhanced cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures even when towing in summer heat, ensuring reliable performance whether you're heading to the Maritimes or crossing the border into Maine.

Maximum Capacity with Minimal Compromise  

Your 2025 Armada maintains its full 3,856 kg towing capacity while still offering substantial interior space. With up to 2,750 litres of cargo volume with the seats folded, you can transport both your trailer's worth of gear and additional cargo inside. The new air suspension system automatically levels the vehicle when loaded, maintaining optimal height and stability.

Built for Canadian Conditions  

The Armada's towing capabilities are specifically tested for Canadian conditions. The standard Intelligent 4WD system, combined with specific towing modes, ensures confident pulling power through Fredericton's snowy winters and wet springs. The available Trailer Brake Controller integrates seamlessly with the braking system for smooth, controlled stops in any weather.
