Titan 2006 XE 4X4 Towing

[XRING600]

Bought a 2006 XE 4X4 no tow package. Manual says 6500 lbs max tow, dealer says 7500, and Nissan Corp with my VIN says 9600 max tow.

Will be towing around 7,000 lbs not all on flat land. What gear up hills would you use to tow this? Do I use the Tow button when towing in a lower gear?

Thanks.

use the tow mode if your climbing hills,if not kick it back into 4th and let her rumble. even with no tow package the titan is a tow beast.

Thanks. I believe that is exactly what I will do. If anyone has had a gooseneck hitch installed I would be interested in hearing your experience with that. One large question that comes to mind is how it would affect warranty if you have problems.

You have a tow mode? I was under the impression that that only came with the Big Tow package... are you sure you don't have it (did your truck come with a Class IV hitch or the 2-piece mirrors)?

Anyways if you don't have it, your max will be around 7400 lbs (CrewCab knocks the capacity ~100 lbs for the added cab weight. 9500lb limit is only on the KC Big Tow package trucks.

I have a tow-mode button on my XE without BigTow package. Come to think about it, I looked at about 5 different trucks before I hung my head and bought the cheapest one and they all had that button.

All 2006 Titan come with the Tow button.

I am going to call Nissan one more time to verify their numbers on my max towing which they told me per my VIN was 9500 lbs.
