Frontal area for travel trailers
I have a 2016 Nissan Frontier 4 cyl 2WD and want to tow a Jayco that weighs 2300 # with a frontal area of 63 square ft. Any ideas about the feasibility of this? The owner's manual states a limit of 30...

We have a 2016 Nissan Frontier automatic, 2 WD, 4 cyl., 153 HP. The GVWR is 4700#. Tires are 235/75 R15. The TT is a Jayco Flight SLX 145 RB with a unloaded weight of 2340#. I wanted to see if this was feasible before doing anything. No hitch, yet. We haven't purchased the TT yet.
The unloaded weight of the trailer doesn't take into account, battery/batteries, propane bottle/bottles, water weight, your basic camping gear, etc.
Bottom line is it's your truck, Nissan warned you, and YOU didn't listen to Nissan's warnings. Buy a small pop up or buy the proper truck to tow what you want to tow.
