My third titan, first crew cab. Lot of front end bouncing going down the road. Worse when I tow my 7000 lb tt?. Any thoughts?

Blown shocks.

How many miles on this Titan?

 

[parrotheadstwo]

4200 miles. 3 months old

Too much weight on the hitch? Supposed to be about 10% of the trailer's total weight.

^ I know that's not bouncing, but gives the idea.

 

[parrotheadstwo]

Bounces even without towing. Tongue weight when towing is around 750lbs.

Agreed. With no shocks you have no damping so it just bounces on the coils.

With that problem and so few miles, I'd be both at the dealership meeting with the service manager and also take a trip to the RV dealership with the tow hooked up to see if they see anything out of the ordinary. Could be a bad W/D set up.

I gotta agree, sounds like your shocks are gone bud. I'd bounce myself back to the dealership and have them replaced under warranty.

Went to nissan dealership. They checked it out. Everything was normal they said. Told me me the 17 Titans have a different suspension. ?? I had a 14 Titan King cab, towed the same tt, no problem, no bounce. Tongue wt and total trailer wt the same now as it was before.

Oh? Then they wouldn't mind you hooking up your trailer to one of their brand new 17 Titans and seeing that it bounces just like yours? I mean, if it's standard then it should happen on ALL of the Titans on their lot.

Say it JUST LIKE THAT.
