Nissan Titan (2019 year). Manual

WARNING

Properly adjust the weight distributing
hitch so the rear of the bumper is no
higher than the measured reference
height when the trailer is attached. If
the rear bumper is higher than the mea-
sured reference height when loaded,
the vehicle may handle unpredictably
which could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and cause serious personal injury or
property damage.

Sway control device

Sudden maneuvers, wind gusts, and buf-
feting caused by other vehicles can affect
trailer handling. Sway control devices may
be used to help control these affects. If you
choose to use one, contact a reputable
trailer hitch supplier to make sure the sway
control device will work with the vehicle,
hitch, trailer and the trailer’s brake system.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer for installing and using the
sway control device.

Class I hitch

Class I trailer hitch equipment (receiver, ball
mount and hitch ball) can be used to tow
trailers of a maximum weight of 2,000 lbs.
(907 kg).

Class II hitch

Class II trailer hitch equipment (receiver,
ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to
tow trailers of a maximum weight of
3,500 lbs. (1,587 kg).

Class III hitch

Class III trailer hitch equipment (receiver,
ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to
tow trailers of a maximum weight of
5,000 lbs. (2,268 kg).

Class IV hitch

Class IV hitches are weight carrying (WC)
and weight distributing (WD) hitches de-
pending on the vehicle and hitch specifica-
tions. Not all Class IV hitches are rated to be
both. See the specific hitch for that infor-
mation. Class IV trailer hitch equipment (re-
ceiver, ball mount and hitch ball) used as
weight carrying are rated up to 10,000 lbs.
(4,535 kg) gross trailer weight (GTW) with a
maximum trailer tongue weight (TW) of
1,000 lbs. (453 kg). Class IV hitches used for
weight

distributing

are

rated

14,000 lbs. (6,350 kg) gross trailer weight
(GTW) with a maximum trailer tongue
weight (TW) of 1,400 lbs. (635 kg). A Class IV
hitch usually has a 2" square receiver open-
ing. A higher class drawbar does not in-

crease the towing capacity of the hitch. To
use this class of hitch for weight distribu-
tion requires a weight distribution system.
Class IV hitches attach to the vehicle frame
only. A weight distributing hitch should be
used to tow trailers that weigh over
5,000 lbs. (2,268 kg).

Your vehicle may be equipped with Class IV
weigh distributing trailer hitch that has a
14,000 lbs. (6,350 kg) maximum weight rat-
ing, but your vehicle is only capable of tow-
ing the maximum trailer weights shown in
the “Towing load/specification” chart in this
section.

5th wheel/gooseneck

A 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer can be
towed by installing a 5th wheel or goose-
neck trailer hitch. These types of hitches
are mounted in the bed of the pick-up. A
professional trailer equipment supplier
should install these hitches as it is very im-
portant to mount the hitch correctly to dis-
tribute the king pin weight for the proper
load carrying and sway control perfor-
mance.

The king pin weight should be 15% of the
fully loaded trailer. Make sure the king pin
weight does not cause the gross vehicle
weight to exceed the Gross Maximum

Technical and consumer information

10-49

Weight Rating or the rear axle weight to
exceed the Rear Gross Axle Weight rating.
For additional information, refer to “Maxi-
mum load limits” in this section.

The weight of the trailer should not exceed
the maximum towing capacity for the ve-
hicle. For additional information, refer to
“Towing load/specification” chart in this
section.

Make sure the trailer design allows for the
correct vehicle to trailer clearances before
purchasing a 5th wheel trailer.

WARNING

∙ The hitch should not be attached to or

affect the operation of the impact-
absorbing bumper.

∙ Do not use axle-mounted hitches.

∙ Do not modify the vehicle exhaust

system, brake system, etc. to install a
trailer hitch.

∙ To reduce the possibility of additional

damage if your vehicle is struck from
the rear, where practical, remove the
receiver when not in use.

∙ Regularly check that all trailer hitch

mounting

bolts

are

securely

mounted.

∙ When towing with the hitch ball

mounted to the rear bumper, do not
make sharp turns. The trailer may
contact the bumper and cause dam-
age to the bumper or trailer.

∙ When towing a 5th wheel trailer, do

not make sharp turns while driving or
backing. The trailer may contact the
vehicle and cause damage to both the
trailer and vehicle.

CAUTION

∙ A 5th wheel hitch adapter is necessary

to use an aftermarket 5th wheel hitch.
A Genuine NISSAN 5th wheel hitch
adapter (as shown) may be available
at a NISSAN dealer.

∙ Ensure kit components are properly

stored when not in use. Improperly
stowed components could result in
serious personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden stop.

mended cold tire pressure indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading In-
formation label.

∙ Trailer tire condition, size, load rat-

ing and proper inflation pressure
should be in accordance with the
trailer and tire manufacturer’s
specifications.

Safety chains

Always use suitable safety chains between
your vehicle and the trailer. The safety
chains should be crossed and should be
attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle
bumper or axle. The safety chains can be
attached to the bumper if the hitch ball is
mounted to the bumper. Be sure to leave
enough slack in the chains to permit turn-
ing corners.

Trailer lights

CAUTION

When splicing into the vehicle electrical
system,

commercially

available

power-type module/converter must be
used to provide power for all trailer
lighting. This unit uses the vehicle bat-
tery as a direct power source for all
trailer lights while using the vehicle tail
light, stop light and turn signal circuits
as

signal

source.

The

module/converter must draw no more
than 15 milliamps from the stop and tail
lamp

circuits.

Using

module/converter that exceeds these
power requirements may damage the
vehicle’s electrical system. See a repu-
table trailer retailer to obtain the proper
equipment and to have it installed.

Trailer lights should comply with federal
and/or local regulations. For assistance in
hooking up trailer lights, it is recommended
that you contact a NISSAN dealer or repu-
table trailer retailer. Vehicles equipped with
the optional trailer tow package are
equipped with a 7-pin trailer harness con-
nector. If your trailer is equipped with a flat
4-pin connector, an adapter will be needed

to connect the trailer lights to the vehicle.
Adapters are available at auto parts stores
and hitch retailers.

Trailer brakes (if so equipped)

If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to federal
and/or local regulations and that it is prop-
erly installed.

Vehicles equipped with a 7–pin trailer har-
ness connector are pre-wired for a trailer
brake controller. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for a trailer brake
adapter harness.

When towing a trailer load of 3,500 lbs.
(1587 kg) or more, trailers with a brake
system MUST be used. However, most
states require a separate braking system
on trailers with a loaded weight above a
specific amount. Make sure the trailer
meets the local regulations and the regu-
lations where you plan to tow.

WARNING

The Gross Combined Weight Rating
(GCWR) must never exceed the vehicle
manufacturers recommendation.

Several types of braking systems are avail-
able.

Surge Brakes - The surge brake actuator is
mounted on the trailer tongue with a hy-
draulic line running to each trailer wheel.
Surge brakes are activated by the trailer
pushing against the hitch ball when the
tow vehicle is braking. Hydraulic surge
brakes are common on rental trailers and
some boat trailers. In this type of system,
there is no hydraulic or electric connection
for brake operation between the tow ve-
hicle and the trailer.

CAUTION

Your factory trailer brake control unit
will not activate surge-style trailer
brakes

Electric Trailer Brakes - Electric braking
systems are activated by an electronic sig-
nal sent from a trailer brake controller (spe-
cial brake-sensing module). If electric trailer
brakes are used, refer to “Electric trailer
brake controller" in this section.

Have a professional supplier of towing
equipment make sure the trailer brakes are
properly installed and demonstrate proper
brake function testing.

Technical and consumer information

WARNING

The NISSAN trailer brake controller has
been verified to be compatible with
trailers having electric actuated drum
brakes (one to four axles) and electric-
over-hydraulic brakes. It will not acti-
vate hydraulic surge-style trailer brakes

WARNING

Never connect a trailer brake system di-
rectly to the vehicle brake system.

Electric trailer brake controller (if
so equipped)

Trailers equipped with electric brakes may
require the installation of an aftermarket
trailer brake controller.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a con-
nector and jumper harness that is specifi-
cally designed to be used when installing
an aftermarket brake controller.

To install the electric trailer brake controller
jumper harness, perform the following pro-
cedure:

1. Open the driver door. Move the seat to

the rearmost position.

Boost

Trailer brake controller unit (if so
equipped)

The Trailer Brake Controller Unit (TBCU), lo-
cated on the lower instrument panel, is a
device that assists the vehicle in having
effective and smooth braking while towing
a trailer.

Operating modes:

∙ Automatic mode: This is the normal

operation of the TBCU depending on
the gain and boost settings adjusted by
the customer. This mode will activate
when vehicle brake pedal is pressed.

∙ Manual mode: This mode is initiated by

adjusting the manual control lever from
resting position. This mode will provide
output power to trailer brakes without
applying the vehicle brake pedal.

To determine the output operation of the
system:

∙ Gain + and Gain - : Used to increase or

decrease the braking force supplied to
the trailer brakes. To adjust the gain,
press Gain + or Gain - to the desired
point (0-10). For example: gain setting
6.0 is a typical starting point for heavy
loads.

∙ Boost: Used to adjust the feel of the

automatic brake event that occurs
when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.
To set up boost, press Boost button
once to display for current boost set-
ting (display for 3 seconds). Keep press-
ing to increase boost level until the de-
sired level (0-3) is achieved.

Pre-towing tips

∙ Be certain your vehicle maintains a level

position when a loaded and/or un-
loaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive the
vehicle if it has an abnormal nose-up or
nose-down condition; check for im-
proper tongue load, overload, worn sus-
pension or other possible causes of ei-
ther condition.

∙ Always secure items in the trailer to pre-

vent load shift while driving.

∙ Keep the cargo load as low as possible

in the trailer to keep the trailer center of
gravity low.

∙ Load the trailer so approximately 60%

of the trailer load is in the front half and
40% is in the back half. Also make sure
the load is balanced side to side.

This graphic shows the suggested boost levels for different trailer sizes relative to the

vehicle size.

LTI2156

Technical and consumer information

10-59

∙ Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure,

vehicle tire pressure, trailer light opera-
tion, and trailer wheel lug nuts every
time you attach a trailer to the vehicle.

∙ Be certain your rearview mirrors con-

form to all federal, state or local regula-
tions. If not, install any mirrors required
for towing before driving the vehicle.

∙ Determine the overall height of the ve-

hicle and trailer so the required clear-
ance is known.

Trailer towing tips

In order to gain skill and an understanding
of the vehicle’s behavior, you should prac-
tice turning, stopping and backing up in an
area which is free from traffic. Steering sta-
bility and braking performance will be
somewhat different than under normal
driving conditions.

∙ Always secure items in the trailer to pre-

vent load shift while driving.

∙ Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin

or lock to prevent the coupler from in-
advertently becoming unlatched.

∙ Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or

stops.

∙ Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.

∙ Always drive your vehicle at a moderate

speed.

∙ When backing up, hold the bottom of

the steering wheel with one hand. Move
your hand in the direction in which you
want the trailer to go. Make small cor-
rections and back up slowly. If possible,
have someone guide you when you are
backing up.

Always block the wheels on both vehicle
and trailer when parking. Parking on a
slope is not recommended; however, if you
must do so:

CAUTION

If you move the shift selector to the P
(Park) position before blocking the
wheels and applying the parking brake,
transmission damage could occur.

1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.

2. Have someone place blocks on the

downhill side of the vehicle and trailer
wheels.

3. After the wheel blocks are in place,

slowly release the brake pedal until the
blocks absorb the vehicle load.

4. Apply the parking brake.

5. Shift the transmission into P (Park).

6. Make sure the

indicator light (if so

equipped) indicates the transfer case is
in 4H, 4LO, or 2H and that the ATP light is
off. If the

indicator light is flashing,

or the ATP light is ON, make sure the
transmission is in P (Park) (A/T) and
turn the 4WD switch to 2WD or 4H. For
additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic transmission park warning light”
in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion and “Using 4-wheel drive (4WD)” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.

7. Turn off the engine.

To drive away:

1. Start the vehicle.

2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.

3. Shift the transmission into gear.

4. Release the parking brake.

5. Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailer

are clear from the blocks.

6. Apply and hold the brake pedal.

7. Have someone retrieve and store the

blocks.

10-60

Technical and consumer information

∙ While going downhill, the weight of the

trailer pushing on the tow vehicle may
decrease overall stability. Therefore, to
maintain adequate control, reduce your
speed and shift to a lower gear. Avoid
long or repeated use of the brakes
when descending a hill, as this reduces
their effectiveness and could cause
overheating. Shifting to a lower gear in-
stead provides “engine braking” and re-
duces the need to brake as frequently.

∙ If the engine coolant temperature rises

to a high temperature, refer to “If your
vehicle overheats” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this owner’s
manual.

∙ Trailer towing requires more fuel than

normal circumstances.

∙ Avoid towing a trailer for your vehicle’s

first 500 miles (805 km).

∙ For the first 500 miles (805 km) that you

do tow, do not drive over 50 mph
(80 km/h).

∙ Have your vehicle serviced more often

than at intervals specified. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Mainte-
nance schedules” in the “Maintenance
and schedule” section of this manual.

∙ When making a turn, your trailer wheels

will be closer to the inside of the turn
than your vehicle wheels. To compen-
sate for this, make a larger than normal
turning radius during the turn.

∙ Crosswinds and rough roads will ad-

versely affect vehicle/trailer handling,
possibly causing vehicle sway. When
being passed by larger vehicles, be pre-
pared for possible changes in cross-
winds that could affect vehicle han-
dling.

Trailer Sway Assist:

To minimize trailer sway, your vehicle may
apply braking to individual wheels based
on input from your vehicle sensors and ve-
hicle speed. Trailer sway control is a func-
tion of the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system and is active when the VDC func-
tion is enabled.

CAUTION

If the VDC-OFF switch is on (meaning
VDC system OFF), the Trailer Sway As-
sist is also disabled

When Trailer Sway Assist is in operation, the
VDC warning light blinks. When vehicle con-
trol is regained, VDC warning light will turn
OFF.

For additional information about the VDC
system, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) OFF switch” in the “Instruments and
controls” section and “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.

If Trailer Sway Assist activates, do the fol-
lowing:

1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal

to allow the vehicle to coast and steer
as straight ahead as the road condi-
tions allow. This combination will help
stabilize the vehicle

CAUTION

Do not try to correct trailer sway by
steering or applying the brakes.

2. When the trailer sway stops, gently ap-

ply the brakes and pull to the side of the
road in a safe area.

3. Try to rearrange the trailer load so it is

balanced. For additional information,
refer to “Pre-towing tips” in this section.

Technical and consumer information

10-61

NOTE:

Trailer Sway Assist cannot reduce trailer
sway in all situations.

∙ Be careful when passing other vehicles.

Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than nor-
mal passing. Remember, the length of
the trailer must also pass the other ve-
hicle before you can safely change
lanes.

∙ Use the Tow Mode or downshift the

transmission to a lower gear for engine
braking when driving down steep or
long hills. This will help slow the vehicle
without applying the brakes.

∙ Avoid holding the brake pedal down too

long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.

∙ Increase your following distance to al-

low for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.

∙ NISSAN recommends that the cruise

control (if so equipped) not be used
while towing a trailer.

∙ Some states or provinces have specific

regulations and speed limits for ve-
hicles that are towing trailers. Obey the
local speed limits.

∙ Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness

connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts
after 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at
every break.

∙ When launching a boat, don’t allow the

water level to go over the exhaust tail
pipe or rear bumper.

∙ Make sure you disconnect the trailer

lights before backing the trailer into the
water or the trailer lights may burn out.

When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission
oil/fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, refer
to the “Do-it-yourself ” section in this
manual.

Tow mode

Using tow mode is recommended when
pulling a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy
load. Press the TOW MODE switch to acti-
vate tow mode. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when tow
mode is selected. Press the TOW MODE
switch again to turn tow mode off. Tow

mode is automatically canceled when the
ignition switch is turned off.

Tow mode includes the following features:

∙ Grade logic — Adjusts transmission

shifts when pulling a trailer or hauling a
load up a grade.

∙ Downhill Speed Control (DSC) — auto-

matically

downshifts

when

driving

down a grade with a trailer or heavy
load to help control vehicle speed.

Driving the vehicle in the tow mode with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will not
cause

any

damage.

However,

may

reduced

and

the

hicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

∙ Failure to follow these guidelines can

result in severe transmission damage.

∙ Never flat tow your 2WD vehicle.

∙ Never tow your 2WD vehicle with the

rear wheels on the ground. Doing so
may cause serious and expensive
damage to the powertrain.

∙ DO NOT tow your 2WD vehicle with all

four wheels on the ground (flat tow-
ing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE internal
transmission parts due to lack of
transmission lubrication.

Automatic Transmission

To tow a vehicle equipped with an auto-
matic transmission, an appropriate vehicle
dolly MUST be placed under the towed ve-
hicle’s drive wheels. Always follow the dolly
manufacturer’s recommendations when
using their product.

NISSAN does not make a snowplow for TI-
TAN and has not evaluated the suitability of
its trucks for use as snowplow platforms.
Instead, the snowplow manufacturers es-
tablish minimum vehicle requirements for
their various plow products and they make
the determination as to which vehicle plat-
forms are suitable, based on their indi-
vidual product specifications. Consult the
snowplow manufacturers and sellers con-
cerning the fitness of the TITAN for use with
their products. NISSAN advises caution
whenever installing aftermarket parts and
accessories because these products have
not been tested or certified by NISSAN.
Please reference the NISSAN Body Builder’s
guide for the appropriate upfit capacities
and requirements of the TITAN XD ‘Snow-
plow Prep’ package (if so equipped) or ‘HD
Front GAWR’ Package (if so equipped).

WARNING

∙ Installing a snowplow may affect ve-

hicle handling. This may cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle
and could result in vehicle damage,
serious injury, or death.

DOT (Department of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.

Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature
A

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B and C

The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-
sent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pave-

ment

measured

under

controlled

conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include ac-
celeration, cornering, hydroplaning, or
peak traction characteristics.

Temperature A, B and C

The temperature grades are A (the high-
est), B, and C, representing the tire’s resis-
tance to the generation of heat, and its
ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tem-
perature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and ex-
cessive temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a
level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Federal Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of perfor-
mance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
