Nissan Frontier V6

Hi all, we currently have a 2010 Nissan Frontier V6 4x LE,short box, with a factory towing package, the TV rated towing capacity is 6K, tongue weight of 600.We are looking at the Lance 1881 (dry 3220 + 300lbs for the options). The question is...do you think the TV can tow it (with out ripping out the guts of the TV or being a major safety issue?)? The approxiamte weight of all of our stuff is 611 lbs. This includes an added 20% safety margin. We would be towing with the tamks empty. Fully loaded the approximate weight my TV is 4800lbs. I would more than likely get a WD hitch.
Thanks!

    that truck has serious tranny problems. it will fail without warning due to radiator falure and coolant entering the tranny. there is a class action law suit which is to late for us. it is a 7K fix once it fails. google it and check it out. there is an aftermarket fix.

    I think you'll be fine. Definitely get a wd hitch. I towed a Lance 1685 with a similar Toyota Tacoma v6 and it did fine, though lacked a bit of power at medium altitude (Bozeman MT area) with strong headwinds.
