I am now owner of my 5th Nissan pickup 1. a 1989 hardbody 2. a 1995 single cab 3. a 2000 crew cab 4. a 2018 crew cab and now a 2020 crew cab. none ever burned a drop of oil, never anything required except normal oil changes (only used full synthetic oil) and regular maintenance. Remarkable reliability with a more reasonable price tag!
The only thing I hate about the Frontier is no integrated trailer brake controller like the competition has. My 22 Frontier moved me and did what I asked it to do.
Looks like your trailer just has a 4 pin connector, which means it doesn't have brakes. If your toolbox is as heavy as it looks, plus all the rest, I'd put that trailer at about 3,000-4,000 lbs. Much too heavy to haul without trailer brakes, especially with a mid-size truck. I own a 2024 Pro-4X, and the brakes are just adequate for moderate loads. I would never tow that much without brakes on the trailer (even just a surge brake) and a brake controller. Having the trailer help you slow and stop goes a long way to feeling more confident (and safe!). Not to mention having the brake controller to help stop sway if it occurs. 13MPG for a gas truck towing a load is par for the course. I've had two Ram 1500s that I towed with, and my Frontier. If you want much better, you'll need to go diesel.
