Jayco jay feather X23B

Hi everyone can you please share any thoughts I drive a 2013 Nissan Frontier 4.0 V-6 with tow package, I am looking at purchasing a 2016 Jayco Jay Feather X23B. My question is how well will my truck handle pulling the trailer?
  • Op, not sure if you’ve done this yet, but you need to look at your payload sticker on the door jamb. Payload is listed at 919 to 1515, which isn’t much, and that is before any options, passengers or anything you put in the truck.

    The OP is apparently looking for someone to come along and tell him everything is fine, and the Frontier is more than capable.

    Any salesman at an RV dealer will be moire than happy to do that :)

    The X23B is not that far off in the weight/size category from the Roo 21SS mentioned in another post. 21SS a little shorter but slightly heavier, X23B langer but slightly lighter. The OP mentions a family of 5 which takes at least 350 lbs from payload of the Nissan if not more.

    Will the 6 banger Nissan pull it....absolutely it will, so would a 4 banger. But you'll be dragging ass merging from acceleration lanes and creeping up the first 5% or 6% grade you come across at a snails pace. Hit a head wind without even mentioning the normal wind resistence and you'll be beating that truck to death.
