I have a 2005 nissan Titan SE crew cab without a tow package. My college organization asked me if I could tow the school trailer to our conference. I am a little weary about it though. The GVWR for the trailer is 7,000lbs and a tongue weight around 400. The trailer will house a concrete canoe and steel bridge along with other competition events, since it is going to an civil engineering competition. My main towing job will be from Las Vegas to Southern California then back. Some of you know that this is a mountainous range. I am getting a Class 3 reciever hitch installed by Uhaul, and this is where the questions start:
Is a class 3 reciever sufficient?
Will i need a weight distribution hitch?
Many are saying I will be able to pull 10,000lbs with a tongue weight of 1,000lbs with a WD hitch? Is this correct?
Will that stop and swaying and any fish tailing that may occur?
Will I need a transmission oil cooler?
Whats up with the gear ratios?
general advise will be helpful as well.
Appreciate all the help,:smoke: :cheers:
