I recently ordered a 6x8x6 weeroll nomad , and I plan to pull it with a nissan frontier that is rated to pull just over 6,500 pounds. The trailer is 1,400 pounds empty. I've pulled small boats at less than highway speed, but never pulled an enclosed trailer. I live in north Florida, and If possible, I'd like to travel all over Florida and south Georgia.
So i have a few questions.
1. I know my truck can easily handle the trailers weight, but with the trailer being 6 ft tall is there any issue to be concerned about?
2. I'm not a speeder but would like to travel at highway speed. What's a safe highway speed to travel while pulling an enclosed trailer?
3. Do I need any type of anti sway device or brake controller?
4. From the little bit of research I've done, I need to have 10% of the weight on the tongue. This can be measured using a simple bathroom scale? Does it matter where I put the rest of the weight?
Thank you for your patience!
