I am asking you these questions because I don't know anything about towing but this is about a friend of mines setup that i was concerned about because I knew something here is not right. This is his comment below on this setup from his research. What do you think?

Allright...Let's do your Titan and the Hornet Trailer...

Your Titan is rated to tow about 7400 lbs(provided you have LT tires)

Your Titan has a payload rating of about 1500 lbs (remember the hitch weight of about 75-100 lbs comes right off your payload number)

Your Titan has a GVW of about 6400 lbs.

Your Titan has a Combined Gross Weight Rating(loaded truck & trailer weight) of 12,800 lbs(still need LT tires)


Your trailer has a GVWR of 7620, and a tongue weight of about 760 lbs(based on a standard of 10)

After hitching up, your truck will have about 750 lbs of payload left over.

.This is your weight envelope..

This would be the conclusion:

If you load up your truck up to its max GVW, you have about 6400 lbs of CGVW rating left over, your trailer loaded up to it's GVW(minus the tongue weight) will be about 6850 lbs, so on paper you're about 400-500 lbs over the CGVW rating...

Basically you're on the hi-end of all your rating(provided you have the correct tires)

So after all that we're right back to my OP:

You'll be at the max....unless you plan on towing a empty trailer...
Tow in 4th gear, drop to 3rd on hills & grades...

We cool?..........
