[2008CCLE]

Hello all,

I am looking to take delivery on a new 2008 CC long bed 4X4 LE sometime next week. My wife and I are also looking for a travel trailer and found what we think is a great layout and match for our needs. I know there are a lot of towing gurus out there and could use some advice.

I towed boats for many years so I am not new to towing however, I have never had to do the math as I always had it done professionally. My towing is primarily done on Long Island and most camp sites are between 20 and 60 miles away but can’t rule out a yearly out of state trip. Most of it is flat highway driving on Long Island. So here is the trailer and its capacities:

Trailer weight: 2007 Crossroads Zinger TT ZT29DB
Dry weight is 6662 lbs.
GVWR weight is 11015 lbs.
Carry capacity is 4061 lbs.
Hitch weight is 880 lbs.
Hitch weight ratio 13%
Water capacities ALL 40 gallons each.

And so no one has to go to the Nissan site, here are the capacities for the specific truck I am buying:

Tow Capacity for the 2008 Nissan Titan Crew Cab Long bed LE 4X4:
Maximum Payload is 1582 lbs.
Maximum tow capacity is 8900 lbs with tow package.
Curb weight of the truck is 5818 lbs.


So the question is, using a WD hitch, will the Titan be able to tow this trailer safely? Aside from the usual things found in a trailer, we travel pretty light. No large toys on board and Just Me, my wife and a 9 year old daughter. For the most part, the bed of the truck would be empty other than a BBQ. So what do you guy’s think, will this setup work?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
