I am in the market too buy a titan. The truck is a 2011 model 2wd crew cab with the tow package and non big tow. My trailer has a GVWR rating of 7,500lbs loaded and a little over 5,000lbs dry. I also have a Reese weight distribution hitch for this trailer. Now my questions are mainly evolving around the hitch. I have read that the 2010+ models have a cheaper made hitch compared to the 04-09 models. Would I have anything too worry about with this trailer? I know the truck can pull the trailer safely but I don't want my hitch breaking on the highway either. Another thing is trailer brake wiring. How hard is this too do on the titans? I know on my current truck is plug and play install. This is something I neglected too check while looking but do these trucks have the 7 pin plug for my trailer hookup? Thanks everyone!

I don't know the answer to the big tow/no tow question, but wiring up the brake controller is a snap.

Big tow has lower gears in the rear end and usually has extendable mirrors. It should say big tow on the window sticker somewhere.
If you are going to tow that trailer you mentioned, you want big tow.

Mine is a towing champ and it came stock with the 7 pin.
Glad too hear the trailer brake plug is just as easy too hookup as it is with my current truck. As for the towing package i'll need too look at the window sticker again before making any assumptions. I do know it has the Premium Utility package equipped.

On the 2011 models, I don't think it was called Big Tow any longer. It comes with the Premium Utility Package, and will then tell you that it has the 3.36 lower gears.

Brake controller (as The Pope says) is a snap. Get a Prodigy, and then get the specific cable for that Prodigy. Has the Nissan connector on one end, and the Prodigy connector on the other. No muss, no fuss. You'll spend more time figuring out where you want it mounted than actually hooking it up and mounting it.
Thanks for the help!
