I bet the 2000lb jump with the Big Tow is because of gearing and the VDC.Towing almost twice it's weight is a load,you would need the gearing and you're more likely to have the trailer pushing you around.
I am more puzzled by the SE VS XE difference?Any idea?Thanks,Charlie

The difference in the SE with no Big Tow and XE is due to the tires. The 18" tires have a higher load capacity than the 17". The 2,000 lb jump is becuase of the gearing.

4. Tranny temp. gauge
5. Class IV hitch with 7 pin wiring.
6. Extendable Mirrors with wide angle mirrors built in.

I may have missed an item but I think that's pretty much what it consists of and in my opinion a true bargain for what Nissan is charging for it.

Dale, I believe all TITAN have the Automatic Transmission Fuild Cooler. (all right every run out and look for the small radiator mounted near the center of your truck!)

It's not the small one that is visible from the front of the vehicle if that's the one your referring to. That small cooler is the Power Steering Fluid cooler.

Thanks, she is a 2 year old mutt. She came from a litter of 8 dogs, almost all of them looking nowhere near the same. My sister-in-law has her brother and he has the same short hair and shape, but not the same colour and he is 130 lbs. My dog is 70 lbs. My father-in-law came over last night with her sister who weighs close to 80lbs has sherpard colouring, collie length hair and doesn't have the same shape. My dog is longer and taller than this one.

Her picture doesn't show it, but she is actually pretty big (tall) she has the shape of a small great dane, with the colouring of a border collie.

I guess that's possible but I've never seen any reference to it. I'll see what I can find from the service manual.
