Sorry about the duplicate post, I did not realize there was a towing section.
Getting ready to tow a camper...need some help.
Hi everyone. This is my first post here. I am setting up my 2011 Titan King Cab 4x4 to tow a fifth wheel camper. The camper is a small 22 footer and weighs about 4K or so. I bought this truck used, so I have no idea what it came with from the factory.
I believe I have the factory tow package in my truck. I base this off reading other posts on here which say if the truck has a transmission temperature gauge installed, then the truck does have it. Mine definitely has this gauge. Some of the posts mention towing mirrors also to designate a towing package. However, mine does not have towing mirrors, just the standard ones. I have a factory installed trailer hitch and the wiring to the lights and such at the hitch come from the factory wiring harness. As I understand it, there should also be a plug in for a brake controller located under the dash near the emergency brake(?) that would come with trucks that have a tow package.
I need to install a brake controller to operate the electric brakes on the camper. I read through the instructions with the connector made for a Titan of this year and I cannot find this plug in under the dash anywhere.
Would this plug be hidden somewhere that I am not looking at? How can I determine if I even have it to begin with? I also question if I really do have a tow package due to the missing tow mirrors and now, potentially, missing adapter for the brake controller.
If anyone has some experience with this, I sure would appreciate some guidance. Thanks very much in advance.
Mike
