And you can still TEXT!!! You can look at the screen to text but not at the road to talk on the cell. What numbnut came up with that?

And whats with towing that big GFBL with that? Is that one of those Porsche SUV thingies? Canyon or Cayanne or something like that?

I think it's the nissan/infiniti wanna-be SUV???

Whatever it is, it shouldn't be towing that boat!

Let me guess-

He's trying to "save fuel"...

That'll be a CVT - izzat any good for towing? Looks like a tail-wag-dog situation to me. Scary.

No. The CVT will blow up VERY quickly. Heat, HEAT, HEAT

I wonder what the legalities are of towing a trailer that is too heavy for your vehicle?

They are not usually enforced TEG. But if you were to have an accident, it would be brought up then.

That's not a Nissan Murano, it's an Infinity FX. While they may look similar they are quite different.

Murano is a FWD/AWD with the CVT which would likely melt in this situation.

FX is RWD/AWD with a 5 speed auto. Better than a Murano, but still not enough to be towing that boat.

The Murano is a much better looking vehicle than that Infinity thing.

Much better looking than that is still pretty goofy looking. I noticed 5 Muranos while out and about today and realized they weren't what was in this picture. But they are still plenty ugly.
So what is the tow rating on that Infinity?
