<----7.3l powerstroke = 68-70mph towing. Once you get over 70 the mileage goes to poop.

 

Good point.

I wonder how the 5.6L Titan will fair?

 

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

 

Even with a roll bar and full tank you should still be front heavy....

 

11-12mpg all day at 70-75 with an open.

 

are you guys seriously towing at 60-70mph? how safe is it at those speeds?

 

My Titan tows my Z great... along with the Prodigy P2 brake controller.

General question. What can I do to prevent the rear of the truck from squatting so much when towing?

 

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

 

The Titan forum likes the Prodigy P2. I just purchased one earlier this year and it works great.

 

Towed 5 years with the Armada with no issues. The self leveling rear suspension was great. Things only became an issue when I moved to s much larger enclosed trailer.

 

Ditto here, first with a 2005 and then with a 2008.

Now my Z spends its trailering time behind a 28-foot Class C motorhome.

 

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.

 

^Sweet rig Leo!

 

+1. Very sweet rig!

+1 on the Titan not being a daily. Trust me, I have both trucks. It's like night and day on gas mileage...

 

My '08 LWB KC Titan will tow my 24' enclosed Dynastar trailer all day long at about 8.5 MPG. Speeds vary between 55-70 MPH, depending on traffic and weather.

 

Actually thought about picking up a Frontier but I didn't think it could hack the towing. Good to know it works well. I can't justify 8.5mpg haha

 

Frontier + open trailer = OK results

Frontier + enclosed trailer = no bueno

Titan + open trailer or modest enclosed trailer = OK
