I'm looking at purchasing a 31.5 foot travel trailer and I'm not sure if my titan will tow it safely!
My truck is a 06 cc 4x4 w\o tow package but I'm getting the BT gears installed this week! I also have a 6" lift and 35" tires. I have air bags, trailer brakes and a equalizer hitch will be installed .
The trailer specs are 31.5', 6,300lbs dry, 3260lbs carrying cap, 60gal fresh water, 30gal waste, 64gal gray.
Would just like some opinions if it would be ok. (would like to get the 31.5' for the growing family)

Thanks

Whats the difference in the brake controllers. I have a reese controller, is that a decent one? What would my true tongue weight be?
I have 35x12.50x18 Toyo M\T's are they considered a LT tire and are the acceptable for towing.

I move my TT today for the first time at highway speeds and I had a hard time deciding what gear to tow in. Towing in 4th the RPM is at about 2200 @ 100km\hr and is okay on flat ground until I get to a slight incline the the truck slows then I have to manually shift to thrid and all is well.

I then tried backing my speed down to 90km\hr and keeping it in third with my RPM at about 3100. It seem to feel alot better this way but I'm just wondering if this will have any negative effects on my tranny, fuel economy (4th vs. 3rd).

( The trailer was completely empty)
