Nissan Armada ability re: Base/Dry weight 7038 lbs
I have a 2014 Nissan Armada with a towing capacity of 9,000 lbs and I am considering buying a Rockweood Windjammer 3008W which has a Base/Dry weight of 7038 lbs. My concern is the ability of the Armada to pull the camper, when fully loaded with supplies, especially if when we visit the west coast. I believe the rule of thumb is add 1,500 lbs to the dry weight to be on the safe side when considering the weight of a camper which would be 8,538 lbs. Please let me know what you think.. Especially if you have an Armada or a vehicle with the same towing capacity. would the 3008W be too much for my car the handle? Thank you5KViews0likes12CommentsFront wheel Drive vehicle for towing?
My wife and I are looking to purchase a vehicle to tow a trailer camper + or - 19 feet. There are a number of front wheel 6 cylinder..300+hp cars..which have a tow rating of over 5,000lbs... Example: Nissan Arcadia.. and I would like to know if there are any problems with using a front wheel car for towing? My wife and I are new at this and need some direction. We plan to travel through out the United States...Not during the winter months...If any of you are suing a front wheel drive vehicle... Any problems? Thank you in advance!!!8.1KViews0likes15Comments
