You’re looking for a new truck, and Nissan offers some impressive models. With the Nissan Frontier, Titan, and Titan XD, you know you’ve got strength, versatility, and dependability. However, your choice of model may come down to towing capacity and which model best meets your needs.
The amount of towing capacity a vehicle has depends on several factors. The build of the vehicle is the primary determining factor, but towing capacity also depends on the installed towing accessories, the passengers inside the vehicle, and the weight of the cargo inside or on top of the vehicle.
Towing capacity differs from payload because the latter refers to the amount of weight that can be placed in the bed of the truck. Towing capacity refers to the amount that can be pulled by the truck in a trailer or RV.
Nissan has three truck options, each designed with a maximum towing capacity. The Nissan Frontier is a light-duty truck with a maximum towing capacity of 6720 pounds. Powering the Frontier is a 3.8L V6 engine with Best-in-Class Standard Horsepower at 310 hp. Additionally, the truck has a 1620-lb. payload capacity. You get these numbers with the Frontier King Cab 4×2.
Along with the strength of the truck for towing, Nissan includes several features to make this process easier and safer. For instance, the Intelligent Around View Monitor provides two views and guidelines to make it simpler to connect to the trailer. Once you’re connected, you have a remote trailer light check system to ensure all lights are in working order. The integrated trailer brake controller mounts on the center dash to activate and adjust trailer brakes for more stability on your drives.
Tow mirrors give you a better view around and behind the trailer, while Trailer Sway Control improves stability even in high winds or on curves. Use Tow-Haul Mode with Downhill Speed Control for a smoother and safer ride, especially on descents.
