Pulling the Flagstaff 827FLS: 5,500 lbs. on the CAT scale, Equal-i-zer hitch, 29'-2" from the tip of the tongue to the back of the bumper. Pulls with no sway and plenty of power (hard to keep it under 55 mph for the break-in)

i only pull a 10' snowmobile trailer, no picture it's in storage, but i only lost 1 to 2 miles per gallon pulling it to the U.P. of Michigan about a 300 mile trip one way. And i was always checking my mirrors to make sure it was back there.

I have been towing this boat with no problem for the last year. I estimate with trailer that it weighs around 5300 lbs. The tow mode, large mirrors, and the trans temp gauge are very helpful when towning. I had mistakenly had the transmission in overdrive as we were towing through some hills, and the trans temp gauge immediately went to high alerting me to pull my head out. I keep the "long range" mirrors aimed at both sides of the trailer wheels, and the larger "short range" mirrors aimed for a view of traffic and blind spots...works great. However, I don't 100 percent trust the rear end set-up since Nissan changed the cover and oil weight. The engineers wouldn't change a design unless there was a recognized problem. That aluminum cover isn't for looks. I haven't decided what to do....keep driving the truck as is and hope that if there is a rear end problem it will occur before 60k miles so Nissan can take responsibility for a design boo boo, or buy a new diff cover out of pocket hoping to prevent any problems. Anyways, can't wait to get back out on the lake.

Picture one in this thread ( Vacation photo's ) is of my old TT. It was a 23'. I now have a 29', #6,100 lb TT but have yet to make it out on our first voyage. Soon....

It's a 25' Attitude Toy Hauler. Inside I carry a 1000# Golf Cart and a 525# ATV. With 106 gallons of fresh water, 36 gallons of fuel, and all our stuff, it probably tips the scales around the Titan's published tow capacity. It's the heaviest I would even consider towing with the Titan. I run a reese style WD hitch and a Prodigy Brake Controller. It tows good.

TitanHauler, your truck looks great but don't you think the leveling kit makes your truck look wussy when you are towing such a big load? If your front end was 1.5-2 inches lower (stock), your rig wouldn't look so overloaded like it does in that picture. I just wanted to point that out to other folks who are debating on getting the leveling kit…something to think about if you tow a lot and want this leveling kit. Just my 2 cents.

Titan and TT

After seeing some of the rather large and heavy rigs being pulled by the Titan Jolie, I don't think you need to worry much about pulling your smaller TT as posted in one of your previous threads.

My race car. Not so heavy. The Armada tows it so much better than the Suburban1500 did!!

I have to agree. It looks like your headlights hit the trees at night. I would never get a leveling kit just for that reason. My truck sits perfectly stock while towing. You also get safer handling when the back end isn't doing that awful duck squat.

I tow a 21 foot Bryant and have weighed it. Tandem axle trailer and all liquids including beer at about 4900 pounds, so you may be a bit lighter than you expect being 19 foot long.
