#15 of 19 towing question? by smitty26 May 20, 2008 (11:28 am)
I have a new 26ft Jayco trailer (4500lbs dry) and I am looking at the Frontier as a means to pull it. I know that the Frontier will pull 6100lbs however would this trailer with some gear in it be pushing the vehicle? Would I be better off with a full size truck?
#16 of 19 What type of Frontier? by moparbad May 20, 2008 (6:37 pm)
First, what trim and equipment of Frontier would you be using to tow?   I have a 4WD CC with automatic and have towed between 4,000 and 5,500 pounds several times on a flatbed trailer with electric brakes. No problems and I felt the power was adequate. I never went over 60 mph and I did feel that the tail was wagging the dog but not to the extent I would not tow the load again. I can't say how the Frontier will do with the 26ft Jayco as that is a large trailer in addition to a sizable weight.   Frequency of towing, distance to be towed and tongue weight are questions that are important.   Yes, you are better off with a full size truck to tow the Jayco.

Replying to: moparbad (May 20, 2008 6:37 pm) I am looking at the LE for towing.   The trailer of course would have the electric brakes but I was hoping to be able to get the Frontier over a full size just because of the gas mileage as a regular vehicle.   the tongue weight is about 540 lbs

What works best for towing...   Manual or Auto transmission?
#19 of 19 problem with 03 trailer wiring by laserdoc85 Jul 04, 2008 (3:28 am)
Just got this truck. It already had a hitch on it along with a wiring harness for the trailer. Problem is my trailers lights did not work. So I went to Autozone and bought a universal harness. Hooked it up to my wires like the last one. I get dim turn signals and dim brake lights. Even one of the trailer side lights come on when I hit the breaks. Its not the trailer because when I hook my Ford up to it it works just fine. How do I fix this one?? Have seen some posts about a wiring harness that talks about the power windows?? 126 bucks!!! But it looks like I have to run it the whole lenght of the truck!! Isn't there a easier way!!!! Thanks
