Towing Vehicles

I'm looking to buy a 19' Bambi and wondered if a 2003 QX4 would be suitable for towing? It was ordered with a trailer towing package. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just to clarify - an Infiniti QX4 is essentially a Nissan Pathfinder with a nicer interior. I believe it's rated to tow 5000 lbs, so your Bambi should be within those limits.

Greetings from the Florida Panhandle

First off, welcome to the Forums. We're glad to have you with us.

I think that you will be able to get by with that combination, but you will really need to be set up properly. A quality sway control/weight distribution hitch system is a must when your tow vehicle/travel trailer combination is close to the limits. You will also need a quality trailer brake controller.

There are many threads on these Forums on this matter for you to review.

Good luck in your pursuit of Airstreaming.

Brian
