I have a 2012 Nissan Altima automatic that I want to use as a Toad. Anyone have any luck or advice on towing a vehicle with a CVT trans.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Quickly checking the Remco towing site (the acknowledged authority on such things) http://www.remcotowing.com/vehicles, their list only goes through 2011 but indicates your Altima with the CVT transmission must be dolly towed.
You might give them a call to see if your later model is an exception, but it does not look promising. :-[
You can do a little searching here with the keywords "Altima" and see if you locate any further information.

Can anybody tell me if they have any make of vehicle that has a CVT trans that is being flat towed? Surely someone makes a kit.

I have a 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid with CVT and the owners manual says it can be flat towed. I haven't set it up for towing yet because I still tow a Toyota Prius (which also has CVT but can't be flat towed) on a dolly. I believe the Ford Fusion Hybrid with CVT is also towable without modification.

While it is time consuming, you might want to bounce around in Remco's site and find one. Or call them.
Again, they seem to be the recognized authority on what will tow and how. 8)

Here is a list of cars with CVT's. Most are not towable - apparently the design does not lend itself well to that. Ford has some that might suit you, though.
