Looking for a new camper. We have a Toyota Tacoma, able to pull 6500# max. We were looking at the Koala camper and the Freedom Express. We like the rear living room with the recliners in the back. RLS model. We want the slide also. Are there any other campers out there that will fit our needs.
I pull my Funfinder 189FDS with a 2006 Frontier, V6, 4WD, six speed manual. The Frontier is nearly identical in size and capacity as the Tacoma. My funfinder weighs right at 3900 pounds ready to roll. I consider this to be a good match of travel trailer to truck. Even though the Frontier also has a 6300 pound towing capacity, as others have pointed out, in order to get the correct tongue weight, you would run out of rear axle payload before any other limit. Probably the upper limit of good matchup for this class truck is more likely a travel trailer of about 4500 pounds.
