Can I Safely Transport 3 Houseboats 250 Feet with a 2015 Nissan Rogue?

Question:
I have a 2015 Nissan Rogue. I have 19 foot boat that I need to tow 3 houses only around 250 feet down the street to put in water for boating. Can the hitch of 1100 pounds handle that you think?

Expert Reply:
I have an answer for you. Since your 2015 Nissan Rogue has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds, the combined weight of the boats cannot exceed that weight. If you are thinking about transporting 3 houseboats 250 feet, the towing weight of the boats you tow must still be below the 1000 pound towing capacity of the vehicle. Even with a short distance of travel, it is still not recommended to tow cargo that exceeds the weight capacity of the hitch. To know if you can safely tow the houseboats for sure, you need to be sure that the individual (if you plan to take one at a time) or combined weight of the boats are less than 1000 pounds.
