I always loved what I could tow and the efficiency I could do it in with my T, I just never enjoyed the fuel economy. Can't have everything! Nice truck BTW!
So I bought a camper trailer in Eugene this weekend, camped for the night for the Garth brooks concert and then headed home. Overall the truck pulled pretty well, I will definitely be looking into a bigger trans pan, another tranny cooler that isn't behind the heat emitting AC condenser, and tow mirrors. I drove to coos bay and had to have it in 3rd most the trip off of I5, two of the hills I had to put her in 2nd to keep the tranny temp down but the engine needle never moved. The trailer is a 2020 coleman lantern that weighs in at a 5880 dry, it was probably over 6k due to the half a tank of water in the belly. She averaged just over 12.5 on the dash, but I'll fill her up in the next couple of days to do the math manually. The rig is a 2009 Titan, all stock with 170k on the odometer.
You better check and keep an eye on the spring shackles on that 04. They are known to fail sending the rear springs through the bed... Toy haulers are known to be nose heavy bad.
2017 Titan Pro-4x, only upgrade in this pic is a K&N cold air intake. I tow a 2019 Mallard 30 ft camper, approx 6800 lbs as is. Rolled across scales and total package is 13,500 I believe. Tows good. I run a Recurve R3 weight distribution hitch with sway control. Usually keep it around 63-65 mph on the highway. Best mileage was Dallas to Galveston 9.1mpg. Usually closer to 8-8.5 though. Since this picture, I've added rear airbags that work great to level the truck. Going in Tues for a leveling kit.
I use these wheel chocks that I got at Harbor Freight for about $60 each. I drilled some holes to the floor to keep them in place but they also come with some small pegs to help keep them from sliding.
Can a winch be mounted on the track behind the cab for purposes of dragging big game up into the bed? How much weight are those tracks rated for? And is there a specific mount for such a setup?
Purchased this truck (04 Big Tow 4x4) to pull my boat with one week ago. Today was the first time I had a chance to hook the boat up and give it a test pull. I pulled to the ramp just a few miles from the house. Launched the boat and pulled it back out with no issues. Did not have to use...
Been a while. I've been on a new FB group for the Grand Design Imagine travel trailer I got in 2018. I've learned a lot about towing and can't seem to understand why so many MEN have a disconnect when it comes to understanding all the numbers that are directly related to towing SAFELY and...
i have a 05 4x4 non big tow recently i was towing a 2 place aluminum enclosed bike trailer with 2, 450 lb sport bikes.When i had the cruise set on the highway and the tow mode activated the cruise aggressivly droped out with a huge thud multiple times without down shifting. It did it in drive...
New Titan owner and new board member.
So I just purchased the above mentioned truck and plan on pulling a 24' boat. I'm guessing under 7000lbs.
From every thing I've read on here it has Big Tow? Pull out tow mirrors, Trans temp gauge, cruise at 70 mph = 2000 RPM's.
So I should be good...
That's awesome
