Last time my car was on scales it was 49% and 51% rear! I really don't think it matters much. I would be more concerned with the drag from the wing as I'm towing the car with it on the trailer backwards

What do people recommend for brake controllers ? I'm going to need one for my Jeep and RV.

I recently started towing, bought a 2014 Frontier and trailer, and really loving it. Towing speed max for me is 70mph and I leave it on CC, sounds like I may be pushing it a bit too much, what is a decent speed? I currently use the framerails hook points up front and a lasso strap around the rear tires. Will try to use rear framerail hook points in the future though as it makes more sense from what I have read here.
I'm actually surprised the rear springs on the Frontier don't drop much at all, it works quite well considering it is a small truck compared to the Titan. Then again it is an open trailer 1500lbs and my Z is 2850lbs, so the total weight would be way below 5000lbs while the truck is reated at 6500lbs max (with WDH). Frontier is ideal for me since it is also my daily, wouldn't want to drive a 5.7L Titan everyday for obvious reasons, though it is an awesome truck for sure.
