Frontier owners, get in here.

Tell me what you tow and how well your frontier does or don't do. I own an 08 crew cab 2wd with short bed and 4.0 motor. We really want to start making some great memories with our kids (9 and 6) and are thinking of getting into camping (travel trailers). My first thought was get another truck (bigger), so I wouldn't be worried about towing but dang it , I don't have a vehicle payment and I really don't want to trade up and get one. Thought about pop ups but not sure if that would be wise. I see a lot of ultra light 19 and 21 footers that run around 2700 to 3,000 pounds dry and they seem doable. I would be hitting state parks and what not and would not be driving any more than 100 miles one way. Looking at used right now and trying to stay 10,000 bucks or better. Whisper good stuff in my ears and tell me there's no need for another truck. Tell me my Frontier will get it done. Thanks for any thoughts.

    Payload you can find on the drivers door frame ( sticker).


    I know what the sticker says. I'm looking for real world opinions of people with frontiers. Their experiences.

    Edit: FWIW. GVWR 5730
    GAWR 3296
    GAWR RR 3331
