A 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 425 horsepower and the 9-speed automatic transmission gets you up to speed quickly and keeps your pace with enough power to tow up to 8,500 pounds. You’ll also tow safer with features like Trailer Blind Spot Monitoring.

Celebrate National Tailgating Day with our Tailgating Guide

The First National Tailgating Day was celebrated on September 3, 2016, and since then, it has become an essential event for sports fans across the country. Scheduled on the first Saturday of September each year, it marks the start of the football season and the beginning of countless tailgates filled with food, fun, and fandom.

What is Tailgating?

Tailgating is an American tradition where sports fans gather outside their favorite sports venue before a game to socialize, eat, drink, celebrate their team, and get pumped up for the game ahead. While often associated with football, tailgating is also a common practice during baseball season and at NASCAR races, where enthusiasts tailgate for days in the infield.

Tailgating is more than just an event; it’s a culture. It brings people together, fosters team spirit, and builds a sense of community. Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned tailgater, here are some tips to ensure your National Tailgating Day is a success.

Top 10 Tips for a Successful Tailgate

1. Keep It Simple

You don’t need a big setup to have a great tailgate. Consider compact yet innovative items like coolers with built-in sound systems or portable grills with speakers.

2. Be Prepared for the Weather

September can be hot, so pack sunscreen, hats, and tents for shade. Wear breathable clothing and bring hand-held fans to stay cool.

3. Try Something New

Wow your tailgating crew with new games, local craft beers, or unique treats like grilled lobster tails.

4. Get Comfortable

Invest in cozy seating like GCI Outdoor freestyle rocking chairs or portable hammocks. Tailgating chairs with built-in shade and fans can also make a big difference.

5. Keep Drinks Cold

Make sure your beverages stay chilled by adding rock salt to your cooler, which can drop the temperature below freezing. For a quick chill, consider devices that cool drinks in 60 seconds.

6. Accommodate Everyone

Be mindful of different dietary needs. Offer options for allergies and special diets, like vegan burgers and brats. Classic burgers and hot dogs are always a hit, though!

7. Stay Powered Up

Bring a small, portable power station to keep phones and electronics charged. It’ll make you the hero of the tailgate.

8. Keep Bugs Away

Use portable, chemical-free devices to repel insects. Devices that use table salt to kill flies are both effective and entertaining.

9. Drink Responsibly

Balance alcohol with water to stay hydrated. A portable breathalyzer can help ensure safe driving.

10. Show Your Spirit

Stand out with vibrant, fan-themed outfits. Fun accessories like belt buckles that hold drinks can add an extra touch of excitement.

The Perfect Tailgating Vehicle

Selecting the right vehicle can greatly elevate your tailgating experience. When considering trucks, prioritize features such as generous cargo space for chairs, coolers, and grills, along with tailgate functionality that doubles as a table or seating area. Choose models equipped with built-in electrical outlets and power generators. SUVs also make excellent choices, especially those with foldable rear seats for extra storage. Enhance your setup with accessories like awnings, storage containers, and tailgate mats.

Regardless of the vehicle, some features are indispensable: power outlets to keep devices charged, comfortable leather or vinyl seats for easy cleaning, entertainment systems with integrated screens and sound systems, and safety features like blind-spot monitors and lane departure warnings to ensure a secure journey.

Enjoy Tailgating the Right Way!

Tailgating is a cherished tradition that brings people together to celebrate their favorite sports teams. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first timer, following these tips can ensure a successful and enjoyable tailgating experience.

Ready to elevate your tailgating game? Visit Bush Nissan of Limerick to shop for a new truck or SUV that's perfect for all your tailgating needs. We suggest either the Nissan Frontier or the Nissan Pathfinder to ensure you have all the room you need to enjoy your time with all your new best friends. Get ready to tailgate in style!

Nissan and Honda Partnership – Automakers Shake Hands to Shake Up EVs

Speculated since March, Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda are making their collaboration official. What can we expect from this partnership and how can it impact electric vehicles in the future for the worldwide electric market?

Nissan and Honda’s Partnership Goals

Nissan and Honda are Japan’s second and third biggest automakers, so why would two direct competitors want a partnership? Software. According to the Japan Times, the goal of the move was to catch up with Chinese competitors who had taken a decisive lead in EVs while Japanese companies concentrated more on hybrid cars. Electric Cars are more computer than motor these days and software is a crucial and ever-changing part of the electric vehicle future.

Through this alliance, the two automakers aim to surpass Chinese manufacturers in the Eastern market and globally. Their joint efforts will likely focus on enhancing vehicle function software, and wireless update capabilities, advancing charging infrastructure, developing supplementary products, and innovating in battery technology.

Partnership Timeline

Both Nissan and Honda are staying quiet about in-depth developments, but it’s safe to speculate that since the March announcement, the companies are now settling on the finer details of the agreement. With lower production costs due to the partnership, EV costs to rival Tesla and other aggressive upcoming competitors could translate into higher sales if the lower production costs also translate into lower ticket prices at the dealership.

Ultimately, this partnership is the direct symptom of a worldwide trend of traditional automakers joining to survive and thrive in the EV era. With their resources and minds combined, standardizing vehicle software that’s easy for drivers to learn along with streamlining charging hardware that works with the growing infrastructure of charging stations could transform the electric vehicle market into the dominant fuel type on the road. Whatever happens, we eagerly await to see what will come out of this meeting of the minds.

Join the Electric Revolution with These Shocking Specials!

At Bush Nissan of Limerick, we have the best selection of electrified and fully electric Nissan vehicles in Montgomery County. Whether you’re looking for something sporty like the 2025 Nissan Leaf or a car that can match your thirst for adventure like the 2024 Nissan Ariya, we are determined to find the vehicle of our dreams. View our specials for great deals on our available models or contact us with any questions about any of our models.

Visit today, schedule a test drive, and feel the electric thrill of taking on the road with an EV from Bush Nissan of Limerick!

Nissan Sparks Excitement with Electric Focused Future

Opposing the trend of Japanese manufacturers sticking with internal combustion engines (ICE), Nissan is dedicated to reducing carbon emissions and securing the planet's future through electric vehicles.

Nissan’s Commitment to Electric

Confirmed by Nissan’s VP for Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania regions, Nissan is reaffirming that electric is the way forward. Nissan put forward their plans toward revolutionizing more efficient electric vehicle batteries with stunning amounts of range last month, showing that the future is electric, and Nissan intends to lead the field.

While Nissan isn’t planning on developing new internal combustion engines (ICE) for the markets mentioned above, they do plan to develop the technologies of their new e-Power hybrid systems as a “stepping stone” to full electrification. This is likely due to the continuous development of charging infrastructure around the world. Many countries continue to catch up, but other markets have led the world in electric infrastructure updates.

The implementation of these announcements might not take immediate effect in the United States and other Western markets due to the ongoing development of electric infrastructure. However, Nissan's global push towards electrification suggests that this strategy will eventually extend to all markets, sooner or later.

What This Means for ICE Gas Engines

Nissan isn’t going to stop selling traditional gas and diesel ICE by any means. This news only means that there won’t be any new developments in improving traditional combustion engines. Nissan will likely continue to invest in more efficient hybrid and plug-in powertrains, with electric leading the focus of their research and development efforts.

Nissan hasn’t confirmed when it will phase out combustion engines altogether, but they did say that it will depend on regulations and market demand from region to region. Nissan did announce in September of 2023 that their Europe branch planned to be EV-only by 2030. When will this change come to the United States? We’ll have to wait and see.

Electric Nissans for All

Nissan’s EV future can’t come soon enough but until more is revealed, come sample the best electric vehicles Nissan has to offer at Bush Nissan of Limerick. We offer EVs in all shapes and sizes, with a well-equipped service department to keep your new car running smoothly. Get ahead of the EV curve today by calling or visiting Bush Nissan of Limerick and scheduling a test drive!

What to Do If Your Car Engine Starts Overheating

Though your vehicle always runs the risk of overheating, those concerns intensify alongside the summer's heat. Indeed, Memorial Day has come and gone, and the mercury is set to rise here in Limerick. Yesterday heralded the arrival of Limerick's hot season, with anticipated temperatures already in the mid-80's this weekend. If you're not prepared, your car and its engine could soon be feeling the heat.

It's beyond stressful when your engine overheats, and the potential performance problems this can cause for your Nissan are equally worrisome. Worse still, if you have to pull over in an isolated area, you might end up stranded under the blistering sun. At Bush Nissan of Limerick, we're prepared to assist you in spotting the warning signs of overheating and instruct you on what to do if your engine does heat up.

Recognize the Signs

Similarly to how your engine uses unusual noises or blinking dashboard icons to signal service needs, it will attempt to communicate to you when it's overheating. Here are four signs that your engine could be on the brink of overheating:

  • Plumes of steam that resemble smoke billow from under the hood.
  • A strange, sweet odor emanates from the engine.
  • The engine temperature gauge needle suddenly swings towards the red.
  • The "Check Engine" light or a similar warning light flashes.

Steps to Take if Your Engine Overheats

Turn off the AC and Ramp up the Heat

Though it may appear contradictory, the initial step when your engine begins overheating is to switch off the cool air and crank up the heat. Deactivating the air conditioner lessens the strain on the engine, while increasing the heat in the cabin helps draw heat away from it.

Stay Calm, Locate a Secure Place to Stop, & Shut Off Your Car

In this type of heated scenario, maintaining your cool is vital. Your new 2024 Nissan Murano won't suddenly become a fireball; panicking only increases the probability of making a pricey mistake. Take a calming breath, slow down, and locate a safe spot to pull over. After stopping, turn off the car and monitor the temperature gauge, which should level off as the engine cools.

Plot Your Route to Bush Nissan of Limerick

The importance of fully charging your phone before setting out on any trip cannot be overstated. (So if you're reading this while stranded roadside, sorry this happened, but way to stay charged!) If you're still near the Limerick area, arrange for your car to be taken to our Service Center. Contact our trusted roadside assistance service to set up a tow, if necessary. If your engine has cooled down enough and you think you can reach us without assistance, carefully restart the car and proceed. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge. If it starts to climb again, pull over and let the engine cool once more.

The Best Nissans to Buy 2024 Graduates

We’ve reached May’s halfway point, meaning that graduation season is upon us once again. Whether your loved one is graduating high school or receiving their college degree, it’s a time for both emotional farewells and exciting new beginnings. But to get to their next chapter, the graduate in your life will need a trustworthy vehicle. 

If you’re looking to gift your graduate with a new car, truck, or SUV, there are several important factors to consider, including: fuel economy, storage space, technology features, and – most importantly – safety. Whether your graduate is just beginning their college journey or starting post-graduate life, you’ll want to do everything in your power to prepare them for what lies ahead. 

To ensure maximum peace of mind, consider gifting them the Kelley Blue Book-approved Nissan Sentra. If a compact sedan isn’t quite what you had in mind, never fear: Nissan provides a plethora of affordable and practical options for teens and new drivers. Explore the all-electric Leaf, or the fun and versatile Kicks. You’ll find them all in stock at Bush Nissan of Limerick: your new graduate headquarters. 

Top Pick: The 2024 Nissan Sentra 

Whether your graduate recently received their diploma from Ursinus in Collegeville or is just preparing to set off for their first fall semester at Temple, the reliable 2024 Nissan Sentra is here to keep the family connected with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. By combining sporty styling and practicality, the Sentra is ideal for campus life. Its fuel economy is 34 mpg combined, keeping refueling minimal. Plus, the Sentra's comfortable “zero gravity” seats will endear its driver to anyone seeking a ride back to the quads. 

In addition, the Sentra was practically designed to assuage your safety concerns. No fewer than 10 airbags line its cabin, and every version of the 2024 Nissan Sentra comes with SafetyShield 360. This full suite of driver assistance safety features includes: 

  • Automatic emergency braking w/ pedestrian detection 
  • Rear cross-traffic alert 
  • Rear automatic braking 
  • Blind-spot warning 
  • Lane-departure warning 
  • High-beam assist 

Other Nissan Vehicles to Consider: 

2024 Nissan Leaf 

Go green this semester with Nissan’s original all-electric vehicle. With a starting price under $40,000, it’s one of the most affordable EVs on the market. Combine an EPA-estimated range of 123/99 mpg, a zero-emission drive train, and minimal maintenance costs, and the Leaf emerges as the perfect choice for the environmentally conscious student who still needs a practical way to get around campus. Furthermore, the Leaf is the recipient of an NHTSA five-star safety rating.

2024 Nissan Rogue 

Another vehicle with a five-star safety rating from NHTSA, the 2024 Nissan Rogue is perfect for the student looking to transport their entire bedroom to campus. With ample storage space, this crossover SUV provides a powerful means of exploring all that campus life has to offer.

2024 Nissan Versa

The most affordable vehicle on our list, the 2024 Nissan Versa still checks off your two most important qualities: practicality and reliability. It isn't the roomiest option for moving day (though there's plenty of space to throw your laundry for weekend trips home). But if you're facing budgetary limitations, you can do a lot worse than the Versa.

To New Beginnings

Turn your tassels. Toss your caps. Get that terrible Vitamin C song out of your system. Then, begin your post-graduate car buying experience at Bush Nissan of Limerick. 

If you’re looking for a new or pre-owned Nissan for your graduate, you’ve come to the right place. We won't be satisfied until we match your son, daughter, or grandchild with a vehicle that fits their driving preferences and exceeds your safety standards . Sleep easier knowing your graduate is driving a safe, reliable vehicle by visiting Montgomery County’s tried-and-true Nissan dealership, Bush Nissan of Limerick.
