Towing my new 17MKE
We just purchased a new 2021 17MKE and we are so excited! I have a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV with the 4.0 liter V6 which I will try to tow it with. My owners manual says I can tow up to 6720 and I have a payload of 1286. My hitch capacity is 650. The 17MKE weighs 4674 dry with a maximum of 6395 and an empty tongue weight of 480 . It's just my wife and I. I have purchased and will use an Andersen WD hitch, which comes highly reviewed. We have loaded the trailer and truck as we would for camping. I then drove it to a Cat Scale and got it weighed. Gross weight for all was 9900 lbs (front axle 2260, rear axle 2860, trailer axles 4780). This does not include my wife and a few more lbs of gear. I took the freeway about 30 miles round trip to the Cat Scales. Feels pretty good. I will know more when I take her for a practice camping trip (about 200 miles round trip) next week. Anybody else towing a 17MKE with a mid sized truck? Any comments?
