I've been looking for a 20ft +/- TT to tow with my 2012 Nissan Frontier. 4.0L V6. The max tongue weight is 630#, max trailer weight is 6300# and payload is 1485#. Lately, I've been checking out hybrids and the hitch weight on 3500# trailers is around 500#! Does that sound right? That seems high compared to the non-hybrids I have seen. 500# of tongue weight along with the family pushes me over 1000# in the truck plus whatever I may put in the bed.
How concerned should I be to get so close to the max tongue weight, and in turn, max payload?
Thanks for any input or advice.
You should be OK as far as payload goes. Just don't load the truck bed up like Jed Clampett did.
You'll be a lot closer on tongue weight, so a weight distributing hitch makes good sense.
