Does anyone tow a Nissan Frontier 4wd 6 speed manual transmission ?

What is the Model Year of the Frontier you're interested in? An OP here was interested in a 2017-something and I could get only the 2016 owner manual on line. Was that you?
I wanted a Tacoma (till I drove it, more later...) and ruled it out based on the owner manual prohibition. Next up was Ranger (they were still building them) and the ride was punishing. Then Frontier... Best ride, best price, towing allowed per owner manual. It drives well, has been very reliable, and we've found it very quiet. More like a midsize car than a truck. Minor gripe, front doors open so far it's hard to reach the handle from the seat when they're open to the wide detent. Bigger gripe, very large turning circle.
I wanted a base model but with extended cab. In Frontier, that's standard. Anyhow, at least in 2009, the Tacoma simply under delivered.
The truck that over delivered in a couple interesting ways was Ranger. Yes, ride was sub par, but steering was tight, small radius, and the engine had a spunky feel. Frontier seemed average, and Tacoma seemed lazy.
