Nissan Frontier & Fun Finder 189FBR

Well, here I am 3 years after moving due to a job change; selling my beloved Keystone Bobcat 293EBS and Ford F150. The RV fever has got me again!. My current TV is a 2012 Nissan Frontier SV crewcab with the 4.0L V6 2WD and factory tow package. I've been looking for a TT that will fit this truck and have found a 2006 Fun Finder 189FBS. It is not the "X" series but instead has the aluminum skin and wood frame construction. The hitch weight is listed at 240# with a UVW of 2325#. Less than 60 square feet of frontal area. My trips would be a couple of hours, with few mountains (KY, TN, etc.) and an occasional 8 hour trip to a football game.

Now for the questions!

Anyody with experience pulling a TT of this size & weight with a Froniter?

Any experiences with the Fun Finder?

Am I missing anything?

Thanks in advance for any insight!
  • In my opinion, sounds like you got it covered! Go find your fun.

    Happy Trails!

    I pulled my Fun Finder with a ford Explorer 4.0. Pulled fine, 12.5 to 13 mpg on a good day. About 10 mpg with a head wind.
  • I towed a 21 foot Amerilite with my 2008 Crew Cab NISMO. It did fine as long as I ran about 60. I took it on several 2000 miles trips before moving to a Titan.
