Our tow vehicle is a 2006 Pathfinder with the factory tow package and towing capacity of #6000. We have a mom, dad and three "blessings" in our family...I am looking for suggestions for what type of TT might be best for us. We have had the Zeppelin EZ190 but are looking to get out of the hybrid way. Has anyone had the Jayco or Roo 23RS??
TIA for you knowledgeable suggestions!!

Personally with a Pathfinder i would not go over a 19' trailer. The Pathfinder while it may have a 6000# maximum, will be reduced by the cargo you add to the base model truck...such as you wife and 3 blessings. So practically you need to look at trailers with a loaded weight of no more than 4800#. You need to consider staying with the hybrids ot look fro a larger tow vehicle.

Agreed if you up the TT in your case i would up the car as well. Buy a used suburban with a tow capacity of like 9,500lbs than you dont got to worry about how much you are towing/what you can bring or not bring.

I used to have the 23RS, and I towed it with an XTerra...and it was horrible. I know it didnt have the 6000lb cap, but 55 at best, and I would suggest a larger TV. I tow a 32' Rockwood 2701ss with my Suburban, and its the way to go. You wont regret it
