There isn’t any tow spots at all on Nissans? I thought they all had those 2 loops on the front. And even if they don’t, the sway bar makes a good spot to hook a chain.

I think you will be fine, just don’t slip the clutch to much. I once towed and launched 3000lbs sail boat with an 88 VW Jetta. It towed it fine except when trying to drive back up the launch ramp, had to get a few people to sit on the hood because all the weight pushing down on the hitch was taking weight off of the front. So handling wise, it’s fine. Power wise might have a harder time trying to keep it going high speeds up hills.

I usually just throw the tow strap loop right over the ball, never had it come off.
