Got a 01 super cab two wheel drive four banger what is the rating for it in toung rating and gross weight it can pull/stop? Trying to see if it will pull my little cargo trailer also need to get a 4 pin wired up thanks for any help

I think the 4 cyl is 3500 pounds with trailer brakes. your owners manual will say. you also have to consider your axle weight and tongue weights.

Yea my truck did not come with a manual and I can't find anything about towing in my haynes, the trailer is about 2500lbs no trailer brakes need to figure out it's tounge weight

2500# empty or loaded with what ever you usually load it with?

It's a 6x12 business cargo trailer that is the rough loaded weight need to take it accross the truck stop scales I just think it's going to be to much for this little thing maybe on short flat hauls alright but it's gonna eat brake pads

to save yourself from stress i would just find a buddy who had a fullsize v8 truck that will pull that trailer much easier.

I have a F250 powerstroke I pull my goosneck cattle trailer with, pulling power is no problem, my g/f just doesnt really like driving the big truck around and it is alot of overkill, but I was just trying to get the specs to kick it around a bit, thanks for the link to the free manual

while the powerstroke is probably overkill, but realistically, a 4 cyl frontier is good for a PWC, ATV, or a small boat. The truck isn't really ideal for regular towing.

True prolly wouldnt be worth buying the hitch, and have a 4 pin wired up

ha yeah i guess i understand that. just remember its a 4 cylinder it aint gonna pull too much, you should of gotten a v6, they can tow up to 5000 lb. if i remember the 4 cylinder in both manual and automaic can pull 3000 or 3500 lb. if what yourpulling is 2500 lb. i see no problems towing it, but i would expect the truck to struggle a bit going up hills.
