I had that exact TV. 2007 Froniter CC (great truck) and I had purchased a 2010 Jayco Jayfeather 19H. Very similar set up to yours.
Like TXiceman and kvangil mentioned I highly recommend the wdh with anti sway. Even thought this is your first TT and it's not as big as others it will still be stressful towing without the wdh. My Frontier would get pushed around quite a bit as trucks and even fast moving cars would go by. Pulling it was not a problem but as kvangil mentioned you will definetly need to hit the OD button and you will be running in the high RPMs. MPG's is greatly effected and In my opinion the V6 just wasnt enough to make me comfortable and stress free. After a year I sold the Frontier and bought an 2011 Expedition. You can do it, but I just felt like the Frontier was working too hard.
Good luck.
