2013 Nissian frontier 4X4 V-6

I pulled a loaded up 4050 lb TT that was only 7'W x 9'9"H x 22'L with an 06 V6 AT 2wd Frontier. Same 6500 lb tow rating. 8.5 MPG. Slow up most hills while the V6 was wound out.
Went to an 08 F150 5.4 3.73. 10.5 MPG and way more comfortable towing.
JMHO but that TT is WAAAAAY too much for that truck. Also check out the frontal ratings for towing a travel trailer.

I just looked up the Grey Wolf. Sorry, I would not pull that camper with a Frontier. It is too heavy and the frontal area exceeds what Nissan recommends. The gross weight exceeds the max tow of the Frontier. The listed tongue weight of 522 pounds will probably grow to at least 700 and would be in the neighborhood of 850 if fully loaded.

I wouldn't.
You need the power of an eight cylinder.
You won't be a happy camper

I tow an 18 foot trailer with a dry weight of 3000 lbs with my double cab V6 4X4 Tacoma and I feel like I wouldn't want to go heavier. I'm within specs for payload, towing, and tongue wieght. I can load up the the bed of my truck a bit with firewood and such without worrying about going to heavy.

I can surely see how GrandpaKip's rig would work, but I have a feeling you (mr davis) are quoting dry weights ? ( you don't have the TT yet, right ? )

What I do to guesstimate real TT weights is take the gross weight and divide 12-15% of the gross as my TW. That will give you a better idea closer to a real rolling down the road weight than a mfg posted dry weight.

The best reliable advice that I can give you is to take 'your truck' to a scale and weight it with it loaded up with the normal stuff you would bring on a trip incl., people and pets etc . That way you will really know the real weight of 'your truck' all loaded and see your real payload.
Pay attention to your tires max load rating, thats usually a weak point but can certainly be beefed up and still be within your rear axle rating.

I looked quickly at the TT specs ( dry weights ) It makes us all guess what this model would really roll down the road at. This model might roll at 6500# with a TW in the 700=800# range depending how you pack it. I base that guess on other similar size TT's (floorplans) . If I am correct, you would probably need more truck or less trailer.
At the least , in order to make this TT work with your truck you might have to drain water, use one propane tank and one battery on the tongue.

Our Frontier is now 10 years old with 105k miles.
The weight of our camper varies between 4500 and 5000 pounds loaded to go with a tongue weight of about 600. We have toted it out west and all over the east coast with nary a problem. When totally loaded for a long trip, we are very close to being maxed out on payload. However, we are still under the max for either axle by a couple hundred pounds each.
We tow at 65 mph, about 2500 rpm in 4th. It will maintain 50 to 55 going up a 7% grade, dropping into 3rd or 2nd and running at 4000 to 5000 rpm.
We do get a nudge from a large truck bow wave when it passes us, but that seems to be par for the course.
I have owned all manner of trucks and by far this is my favorite.

Check the payload for your particular truck (door jamb sticker). The frontier's payload is a bit low and you might exceed it.

It will pull it, but you wont be happy. I pulled a light weight TT with a frontier and it was an unpleasant experience.
