01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2007 Frontier 2809PQS-F at 5,540 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,460 lb and a tongue weight of 560 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 28'7" long and 121" high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 32 gal grey, 32 gal black.

Among the 12 Frontier floorplans KZ’s Frontier brochure (filed in KZ’s 2007 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 10 from the lightest, in a range from 4,160 lb (Frontier 2205QS-F) to 6,090 lb (Frontier 2453P-F). Every figure in that comparison is KZ’s, for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from KZ’s Frontier brochure (filed in KZ’s 2007 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2007 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

How the 2809PQS-F differs from the other eight Frontier travel trailers. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 5,540 lb: second-heaviest of nine, between the 2505QSS-F (5,380 lb) and the 2901P-F (5,570 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,460 lb: second-smallest of nine, between the 2901P-F (1,430 lb) and the 2505QSS-F (1,620 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.9%: second-smallest of nine, between the 2901P-F (20.4%) and the 2505QSS-F (23.1%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.1%: fourth-smallest of nine, between the 2205QS-F (9.9%) and the 2303P-F (10.5%).
  • Length, 28 ft 7 in: fourth-longest of nine, between the 2605P-F (27 ft 4 in) and the 2802P-F and 2803P-F (29 ft).
  • Tongue weight, 560 lb: fifth-lightest of nine, between the 2303P-F and 2605P-F (490 lb) and the 2802P-F (570 lb).

Next to the 2505QSS-F, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2809PQS-F is 160 lb heavier by dry weight, has 160 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 60 lb lighter and is 2 ft 4 in longer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 2901P-F, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2809PQS-F is 30 lb lighter by dry weight, has 30 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 170 lb lighter and is 2 ft 4 in shorter; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed7,000 lb
Published tongue weight560 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb700–1,050 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed7,000 lb towed / 1,050 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (7,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,050 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan

What KZ does not publish for the Frontier 2809PQS-F

KZ prints no sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.

Read the label on the trailer

Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.

05 How it compares

5,530 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,540 lb and 7,000 lb.

Heavier
KZ Frontier 2901P-F

5,570 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,540 lb and 7,000 lb.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 23% of the Frontier 2809PQS-F’s 1,460 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,128 lb. Across 9 Frontier travel-trailer floorplans the water share runs 14% to 23%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Frontier 2505QSS-F at 20% and Frontier 2901P-F at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

07 Where this floorplan sits

Closest sibling: the Frontier 2802P-F, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 28 ft 7 in vs 29 ft 0 in; dry weight 5,540 lb vs 5,350 lb; cargo capacity 1,460 lb vs 1,650 lb; hitch weight 560 lb vs 570 lb. They match on GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

13 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the Frontier 2809PQS-F. Not published: sleeps, slide count, axle count, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

Sourcing rules: methodology.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 2 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Frontier line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers tires.

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Frontier line page.

Earlier model years

The record at the top of this page is the 2809PQS-F from 2007. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 2809PQS-F, and that year is printed here: 2006. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.

Source for 2006. Printed in KZ RV’s Frontier brochure (www.kz-rv.com). The document itself prints no model year; KZ RV files it under 2006 in its own brochure folder. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the printed GVWR exactly (5,540 + 1,460 = 7,000 lb). Nothing in this record is copied from another model year.

NHTSA record for 2006 Frontier

2 recall campaigns filed with NHTSA name the Frontier for model year 2006:

1 owner complaint filed with NHTSA names the Frontier for model year 2006. NHTSA files recalls and complaints by line and model year, not by floorplan, so a campaign listed here may not affect every Frontier floorplan; the recall notice says which units it covers.
