Got a trailer in your weekend plans? SL, Dark Armor or Platinum, the 2027 Nissan Murano can pull up to 1,500 lbs, though capacity varies by configuration. Road grades, payload and tow weight all affect it, and so does weather, including the high temperatures any Florida summer can supply. Details are in the Owner's Manual.

Family along? Nissan figures the rating with a driver and no extra cargo, so each passenger, bag and option lowers your maximum. The manual says a slippery boat ramp may call for less weight. Most states, says Nissan's Towing Guide, require trailers to have a separate braking system once loaded weight reaches 1,500 lbs, so check Florida's rules.

• Trailers up to 1,500 lbs, depending on configuration
• Tongue load limit: 150 lbs, in the manual's towing chart
• Within that limit, figure 10 to 15 percent of trailer load
• Available accessories: Class I Tow Hitch Receiver Kit, Trailer Tow Harness
• The manual says wait 500 miles before towing or heavy loads

Tuesday's errands and Saturday's loads share the same hardware. For the 2027 Nissan Murano, that means 241 horsepower on tap and 260 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo inline-4. Its 9-speed automatic has paddle shifters. Every grade also carries Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and when rain rolls across US-27 it keeps checking conditions and stepping in to help provide traction.

Car full of visiting family? With that much aboard, or on a steep climb, the manual recommends a Drive Mode Selector setting other than Eco. It also says it's best to disable idle stop when towing a trailer. Snow Mode, the new one for 2027, sticks to snowy and frozen roads, so think winter trips out of state.

• 5,600 rpm brings the full 241 horsepower
• VC-Turbo compression ratio spans 8.0:1 to 14.0:1
• Drive Mode Selector on every grade: Standard, Eco, Sport, Snow
• Hill start assist plus electronic parking brake, standard across the lineup
• Solo trailer light check by Intelligent Key, if so equipped

Will the cooler, the lawn chairs and a guest's suitcases all fit? Here are the numbers, the same on all three 2027 Nissan Murano grades: 32.9 cubic feet behind an upright second row and 63.5 cubic feet after it folds flat. With the 60/40 split bench, one side can fold for longer items while a passenger keeps the other.

Grocery bags clear a 31.6-inch liftover height through a power liftgate, standard on every grade. Behind the second row, expect 55.9 inches of width and 39.7 inches of length, with height at 30.1 inches in the Dark Armor and Platinum and 29.8 inches on SL. Load limits depend on weight and distribution, Nissan reminds you, so always secure your gear.

• From the first row back: 72.2 inches long, 56.9 inches wide
• 12-volt outlet in the cargo area on every grade
• Luggage hooks and a storage bin live in the cargo area
• Per-hook limits: 6.5 lbs side, under 110 lbs floor
• Sold separately: Cargo Package with net, cover, protector, first aid kit
