I purchased the truck primarily for it's towing capacity. I bought a new 30ft travel trailer weighing almost 6000 lbs. The Frontier was the perfect choice. Options with a greater towing capacity were several thousands more. The Frontier offered all the upgrades/options I was looking for without the higher pricetag.
