Hey Jeff, I looked up the weight of an Intech Flyer Explore relative to the towing capacity of your 2009 Nissan Xterra and you'd be right at where I would start to strongly recommend a weight distribution system. I won't lie to you and tell you its something you have to have or anything like that but it will do a great job reducing rear suspension sag, improve braking, and also handling so it's a worthwhile investment for sure.
For that a simple system like the Curt # C95MJ would be a great choice that will work great and also not break the bank. How often do you think you'll be towing it?
