Re: Towing 28 ft TT with 2005 4x2 KC SE w/o BT
Melissa if there is one thing we can all agree on is that you are maxing the truck out for sure. So you will need to be extra careful. get your tires set up and your hitch adjusted correctly with all your gear loaded. Do some driving around town to get use to the Electric brakes (you do have a brake controller right?).
Get that complete set up weighed, you could be over max. A good rule of thumb is only tow weight up to 85% of your GCWR. It's safety issue only and takes away the guessing if you do add some weight at some point, it gives wiggle room.
The biggest thing you have against you with not having the big tow pack is the gearing. You have the important stuff like the trany cooler. With the after market 7 pin connector and all the relays you should still be able to charge the TT batteries when the truck is running, but not 100% on that. You can always upgrade the mirrors and battery later. You can also increase your tow capacity by buying a new Axle Assembly with the 3.36 big tow gears and swap it out. Some have said they cost about $2100 from Nissan, not installed but any decent garage can do that or friend with know how. May or may not need to reset the ECU. This is way cheaper than buying a new truck and you have the full 9400lbs.
Good luck with your RVing. If you ever see a Silver CC Titan pulling a Keystone in Florida it could be us.
