V6 nissan frontier

Hello. I have a 2010 v6 nissan frontier crew cab with a brake controller. I am very interested in the r vision 23. Tottal length 26.7ft and dry weight axle weight of 3880. It is rated to pull 6100lb. Is it safe to pull this trailer with this vehicle? I intended on taking it to the California coast at times through some steep and windy terrain. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am new at this post thing so hopefully posting in the right place.
:)?

  • Is there any way to counter the sway. I am pretty stuck on this trailer. Luv the floor plan but.. Don't want to stress thing too much. The shorter trailers are not as comfy. But I do want to safe. The box is only 23 ft, and it is about 27 ft with the hitch and everything. I am not too concerned with the weight, but more the length. Although I will find out the axle weight. I am pretty new to this trailer pulling.
  • What is the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the R Vision 23? If it's under the 6100#, you pass step one. The second step is to see what the carry capacity of your Nissan is. This is usually on the tire placard of your Nissan. It will list the weight that you can carry in the Nissan of luggage, people, the weight of the hitch itself (if not included in the original equipment), and the hitch weight of the Rvision. If the total combined weigh is less than the cargo capacity of the Nissan, you pass step two. Finally, you need to check the axle weight ratings for the vehicles to make sure you won't exceed those.
  • before my current truck and camper i had a v6 frontier also rated to pull 6100. i pulled a 21 foot hybrid trailer. it weighed around 3200lb dry. did ok. a little sluggish on hills, but not too bad. you should be ok with the weight, but that length is long for that truck. you will get a lot more sway and won't have much truckbase to counter it with. i would try to go with something a little shorter.
