I think having a 2WD is better for towing that much. You have more capacity then a heavier one with 4X4 underpinnings. Your a smart man staying off the interstates. With yourself and gear your probably over gross vehicle weigh (GVWR). You might feel that is safe but it isn't considered safe by the manufacturer. If you do have a mishap they could fine you for being over the limit. Regardless of what you think is safe, there are legal ramifications to consider here.
Generally speaking, Most experts recommend to never exceed 90 percent of the GVWR. Preferably closer to 85 percent. Just adding a few pots/pans, clothing, water with grey and black water, hoses etc.. I've owned a class C and know what traveling light means. I mean you cut out everything but the absolute bare min and you still will have at least 300 lbs back there. And that is VERY conservative. Which would put you at 95 percent the GVWR. Sorry but I've not heard anyone on this forum load a frontier like that. Now some will say the long wheel base is a bit safer adding more stability. I agree with this. But your picture shows a Pro X which is the short box. Your trailer is much longer then your truck and is a double axle. The frontier is also the narrowest of mid size trucks which lessons the stability and the possibility that the trailer will start driving the truck verses the other way around. At the very least you need tow mirrors since I know you can't see around that. Looking at your avatar pic that is pretty sizable travel trailer. Not wanting to be negative but I am concerned for your safety pulling that size of travel trailer.
You definitely want to stay off the interstates because those semi trucks will be passing you at a high rate of speed. But your already doing that. Like another said, don't load the back of the trailer. If the trailer starts to move around use the trailer brake only. After watching allot of crashed camper trailer videos I can say that once the camper tips over the truck generally rolls over as well. A member here was towing a smaller air stream and that is exactly what happend. Both rolled. Its pretty rare that the tow vehicle will stay upright. Also will mention again you need to put some tow mirrors on that truck. Personally, I would not want to tow more then around 4500 lbs. A smaller trailer is generally narrower and easier to manage on a smaller mid size that is the narrowest mid size on the market. You trailer has a much wider beam then the truck. But this generally limits your choices to single axle. My neighbor has something your size but he pulls it with a tundra.
Your truck bed looks like it has 24 bags of pellets (about 1K pounds). I know since I haul about three loads of pellets/year and my 19 P4X looks like that. Yeah, your a bit out of spec there.
At which point what is driving what lol. I can see maybe hauling something like that in an emergency short distances only. But traveling interstate no thanks. I know in New Mexico we got high winds. ALLOT. I'm talking 50-70 mph stuff.
Sounds like a nice setup. Still, your Jay feather is likely 1400 lbs lighter then what the OP is pulling at 6000 lbs dry weight.
I can't find the video now but there was this idiot on YT that was traveling all over the states in unsafe setup. He didn't even have much for a hitch setup. He was going slow and thought he could avoid catastrophe. But he was on the interstate going maybe 50 mph. Well the truck and camper ended up in the middle medium and the camper exploded with debri everywhere. Miraculously his frontier remained upright. The state police was pretty upset and looked at the mess and the sorry *** setup and gave him a big fine. Then they said he had 1 hours to collect whatever junk he had in the mess and they would have a loader scoop of the trash and haul it off. It was a long trailer and the morons had overloaded it as well. State police said they would bill them for the cleanup as well. Then the idiot on this same video set up a go fund me asking for 30K to replace the trailer. Needless to say the channel got flamed to pieces. Posters were ripping him for being unsafe and being a narcissist. Mostly folks were upset that he had no care for other travelers on the road doing such stupid things. Luckily no other vehicles were involved.
