New to TT, Bit timid to tow ...?
Hi all, I am new to this forum and new to travel trailer camping. We have "the bug" and are looking at small Jayco or Rockwood. We haven't bought the trailer, nor do we yet have a tow vehicle. Howe...

My goodness!! I am so *very* impressed and grateful for so many people already responding to my query! I can't thank everyone enough for taking the time to help. I've edited my original post to include the specs for the tow vehicles under consideration (though I don't think these account for features we would add):
Toyota 4Runner:
GVWR 6300
Curb Weight 4675
GVWR - Curb Weight (1625)
Towing Capacity 4700 (sometimes shown as 5000)
Nissan Pathfinder:
GVWR 5986
Curb Weight 4168
GVWR - Curb Weight (1818)
Towing Capacity 5000
Max tongue wt (Dead wt hitch) 500
Max tougue wt (Wt distrib hitch) 750
It's not clear to me is the "Weight Distributing Hitch" is an option and, if so, if we would need it. And, I only saw it listed with the Pathfinder specs, so perhaps it isn't available for the 4Runner at all ...?
