Hi Guys,
First off i've been a long time lurker, but have found these forums very well informative and very good reads.
I've done searches in the past on google and have probably 60% of the info I need to know, but figured i'd just go ahead and post my situation and see what the experts say.
I recently bought a 2007 Nissan Titan LE, 2WD drive without the Tow package installed. I know i probably should of looked more into it, but at the time it made sense and worked for my situation, I'm young and new to all this, i make decent money so in the near future maybe i'll wise up and get everything i want all up front.
Anyways my question is, what exactly should i be looking for in a tow package? I see a lot of hitches out there and the wire harness i've looked at and should be a pretty straight forward install, but I know i definitely want to go dealer suggests, unless you guys know better.
I have the bumper to bumper warranty so i want to make sure i get the right stuff so i don't void the warranty.
I don't plan on buying a giant boat or a car trailer, but I'm getting a couple of use jet skis and a double trailer in the near future and want to make sure i know everything i need to know to haul them.
I've seen info on the gear sizes and tranny temps. My titan has a tow mode on it, i'm assuming that should take care of the tranny needs minus the temp gauge, correct?
Do you think there is anything else i should know, including driving with it and what to expect?
Million dollar question is, can my truck handle what i'm asking for?
Like i said one day down the road i'll buy the truck that has all the stuff up front, but i made my choice for now and i'm living with it, want to at least explore my options.
thanks guys for listening to me ramble, looking forward to the response.
