First off, congrats to your new Titan, now tell me you bought one with the tow package, right?
The owners manual will have the tow spec's for you 08'
With the T/Package you should be in the 9000 lbs towing range.
You will need an brake controller and my fav is the Prodigy.

Google for best prices, and buy the Prodigy Titan harness for Plug n Play hook-up.
Here's a quik primer on WD hitches:

For anything over 500 lbs tongue weight or 5000 lbs total weight you should be running a WD hitch.
If you have the center console shifter then it's easy to downshift youself when needed, just move the lever!
The owners manual has a section on this...Also, when towing heavier loads, say over 4000 lbs, keep it out of 5th gear(OD) unless you are on flat ground, this will help keep the trans cool. That's what the trans temp gauge is for...
Good luck!
