Frontal area for travel trailers
I have a 2016 Nissan Frontier 4 cyl 2WD and want to tow a Jayco that weighs 2300 # with a frontal area of 63 square ft. Any ideas about the feasibility of this? The owner's manual states a limit of 30...

Anyone have experience towing a TT with a 60+ frontal area with a small truck? Any sad stories? Happy endings?
Happy ending? Well I got a new Silverado out it :B when it became obvious after 2 short weekend trips that our '98 V6 4.0L SOHC Explorer just wasn't going to be able to handle the task of towing our C21RBH TrailCruiser hybrid which averaged ~ 3800 lbs loaded and ready to camp. That same Exploder had towed our previous 10' popup all over the western US on a 4 week, 8,000 km trip with no issues at all but towing that 8' wide, full height hybrid it couldn't get out of it's own way. :( The Silvy saved the day and later that summer we towed the hybrid down to Myrtle Beach and over to Tennessee, no issues at all. :)
