I need to tow a 22' full height, enclosed car trailer. Loaded, about 7,000lbs total, and used with a weight distributing hitch. Towing maybe a half dozen weekends per year, mostly highway. I've never even considered a Titan until now. I currently tow with the 2500 version of a large SUV whose name sounds like the place you want to live when you don't want to live in the city. But it's been a total nightmare when it comes to anything electrical. It's driving me crazy. I'm very ready for a change. So my novice question: is the Titan a reasonably "relaxed" tow vehicle for this situation?  

Thanks for any advice - it's the sort of thing you really can't investigate with a test drive!

Thanks for the advice! And I'll try your test tow idea on my local dealer.

I' ve been a GM truck owner for many years, but this one has put me over the top. Example: it had Ride Control [computer died 2yrs ago], but the shocks needed replacing. And the egregious, gouging price per shock, part only? C$680/U$600 EACH!! What's worse, ONLY oem shocks fit [in the front at least]. That's just last week's problem. ... Hence considering the Titan.

the titan with big tow package is rated 9500 lbs max towing, with the right equipment 7000 lbs should be no problem
