the nissan will do the job,but it,s pretty hard to beat the chevy s10 when you tow those bigger boats,with the 4 cyl engine the weight balance is perfect and the power is plentyful as long as you use 87 octane fuel.i will never understand why people waste there money on big trucks for towing boats.

Shouldn't be a problem...I just went and picked up my 42' searay sundancer with twin diesel inboards..used my chevy s10 pick up..I forgot the receiver so i opened up the hole in the trailer hitch and got a 2 5/16 ball with a 1/2'' shank and bolted it to the bumper,,when i let the boat down the springs were hittin the leaf spring stops so i hacked it back up and wedge two pieces of 4x4 wood in between their so it wouldn't sit so low..all is good to go ...had to brake steer but if did the job..i even passed a toyota tundra pulling a 47 fountain....
