Can the 2026 Nissan Frontier Tow a Travel Trailer around Perry Hall, MD?

Jones Bel Air Nissan - Can the 2026 Nissan Frontier Tow a Travel Trailer around Perry Hall, MD?

The Frontier® is a favorite among shoppers who want a midsize truck that is equal parts dependable and capable, and towing is a big reason why. If you are exploring whether this truck can confidently pull a travel trailer for weekend trips around Perry Hall, MD, the short answer is that Frontier’s engineering and available towing support features are designed for exactly that kind of use — provided you match the right configuration to your trailer.

Start with the fundamentals. Frontier’s standard 3.8-liter V6 produces 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, and when properly equipped, this truck is rated to tow up to 7,150 lbs. That tow rating puts many 20–25-foot travel trailers within reach, along with pop-ups, toy haulers, and boat trailers. The fully boxed ladder frame anchors the setup with the strength and stability you want on extended drives, while the 9-speed automatic helps keep the engine in its sweet spot on hills and merges.

Real-world confidence comes from support systems that help you set up correctly and stay aware. Frontier’s available Intelligent Around View® Monitor provides guidelines to help you line up the hitch with precision, which can reduce back-and-forth and stress in tight campgrounds. Intelligent Cruise Control can help manage speed and spacing in highway traffic, while Nissan Safety Shield® 360 brings standard driver-assist features for added peace of mind around town and on the interstate.

To get the best match, consider your trailer’s actual loaded weight, not just the dry number. Account for water, propane, batteries, and gear. Keep tongue weight balanced within recommended ranges, and confirm you have enough payload to accommodate passengers plus that tongue weight. Frontier’s payload capacity is up to 1,590 lbs., which gives you valuable flexibility for people and cargo in the cab and bed. If your travel plans include gravel roads or uneven terrain leading to a campsite, consider a 4x4 model — and if your adventures go deeper into the backcountry, the PRO-4X® brings an electronic locking rear differential, Bilstein® shocks, skid plates, and rugged all-terrain tires. Those upgrades help with traction and durability when the path to the perfect spot is more rugged than paved.

Many shoppers also ask about cabin tech that makes long towing days easier. An available 12.3" touch-screen keeps maps and vehicle data clear at a glance, while wireless Apple CarPlay® integration and Android Auto™ compatibility streamline your routines. NissanConnect® Services via the MyNISSAN app adds helpful tools like Remote Engine Start and Remote Vehicle Status, and the available Wi-Fi Hotspot can keep everyone connected during road trips. It is a smart, supportive environment for a driver who is focused on safe, steady towing.

If you are comparing configurations, our team can help you pinpoint the right match for your trailer and travel style. We will walk you through tow ratings, payload considerations, and accessories and then set up a test drive that mirrors how you really plan to use your truck. That clarity makes the first trip feel as smooth as the hundredth.

Frequently Asked Questions:
