Driveline Shudder

Now that I have moved up to a 6000+ lb trailer I've noticed some driveline shudder between 10-20 MPH when accelerating from a standstill. Has anyone else noticed anything like this when towing with their Titans?

No shudder with either truck when towing.

Yep...seems to be normal for the new LWB truck. I say that because I didn't have it with my SWB 04 Titan. It's VERY minimal and lasts only until, like you said, about 20 MPH or so. No idea why that is but it doesn't seem to be a problem, and I've towed MANY miles with my 08.

For the 08' guys...
Is there a center driveshaft carrier support on the LWB 4wd's?

There sure is. I noticed it back when the death wobble problem was posted nd I looked underneath. No problems at all with mine but the small judder from a stop to about 10-15 MPH can be felt at times.
