towing with FWD???
I am in the proces of buying my wife a nissan murano... does anybody have any opinions if it will be ok to tow a 5x10utility trailer with a fourwheeler on top of it??? I see they come with towing package but I am just not so sure about the FWD??? they do make them in AWD but I dont want to pay extra $ for something that I am going to use ~2x a year??

Tow away man! It should be fine. I pulled my snowmobile around in High school every weekend in the winter with a 1980 Chevy Citation 
(POS FWD car) w/o any problems. My dad has towed my 5x8 enclosed trailer full of crap with his FWD 01 Intrepid a long ways w/o problem.

I've seen Camrys and Corollas come into the shop with tow hitches on them lol Not that I'd recommend it for those vehicles, but I'd think that a Murano with an available tow package should be fine as long as you don't exceed it's rated capacity.

I'd say you are ok. I had a 1987 Cavalier Z24 (FWD) that, believe it or not, I used to tow a 3-rail dirtbike trailer with 2 or 3 dirtbikes on it. I'm guessing it was about 1250lbs total.
If you are anywhere around that weight you should be fine.
