Pulling a 22' TT 350 miles to Pismo in August with my 2006 XE 4x2 C/C w/o BT. Yes, I'll have the trailer brakes equipped. This is going to be a family outing (small vacation) and I wanna make sure my Titan is up to the task. Of course, before leaving I'll be purchasing BT mirrors and possibly a trans cooler.

Do you think it'd be a wise decision to invest in a tranny temp gauge?

I should have my spindle lift on by then also, total of 6.5" of lift up front and 4" out back with a Deaver add-a-leaf and probably Bilstiens. Do you think I'll also need airbags? FWIW, I'll be using a weight distributing hitch.

I just need to know what I will be looking at for this trip. My wife (125lbs), me (235lbs) and my two babies will be in the truck with me, along with perhaps a quad (350lbs) in the bed.

Do I worry, or do I not? Also, should I use the trans' Tow/Haul mode? And lastly, what kind of gas mileage can I expect? I am thinking at BEST 10mpg highway. Thoughts?
