Been looking at these pop-ups for some time. How does the Frontier tow it with 33s?

Duh...thanks Paul, you are correct.

I owned a Coleman and really enjoyed camping in it.  Hot in the summer, and didn't insulate too well in the really cold months, but great for sleeping/camping with the family.

Mine weighed in at about 3,700 lbs. and I pulled it with a V8 Tundra...like a breeze.  I bet the Frontier wouldn't have too much trouble towing one of these if it was hauled dry.

Dry hauling is key.

It does great when we are loaded for a weekend trip. When we do our week long trip to Death Valley and we are really loaded down...probably overloaded it still does pretty good. Going up and down Townes Pass is the only scary part. The trucks brakes overheat on the way down, but I think I need to work on the trailer brakes, they are surge brakes and I don't think they are working correctly.

I think i need a weight distributing hitch because the tongue weight is too high. I have two 6 volt batteries in the front that that make it heavy. I plan on getting the OME medium duty springs at some point, so that night help as well.

Here are some of mine.  Some are taken from the campsite, but not of the campsite.
