towing with family

This guy was pulling a 35' TT with his Armada until he traded for a F-350 diesel.
BUT his trailer was a lot longer and heavier (8500# dry), and he says the Armada did a respectable job towing it, but he traded because he was down to his last ounce of ratings. So with your size/weight TT you might be OK with the Armada.

Of course that means installing a brake controller in the Armada, getting proper mirrors, etc....

If this is the first time taking DD and the kids, maybe worth going somewhere close to home where they can follow easily in the Armada and see how the family camping thing works out with the TT before investing in tow gear for the Armada.

TAKE TWO VEHICLES. TAKE TWO VEHICLES. TAKE TWO VEHICLES. Just in case I wasn't clear, take two vehicles. That Nissan is a marginal two vehicle for your trailer, and probably has "P" rated tires which will increase sway dramatically. It will probably be overloaded with everyone and everything stuffed inside. You will have to equip the Nissan for towing, too.

It'll work fine, but watch the payload. Daughter, kids, and their stuff along with the tongue weight might push you over the payload.

It may be "crazy" to take 2 vehicles, but I think this idea is crazier. Personally I wouldn't want the hassles of setting the WD hitch up for a different vehicle for one trip. Not to mention putting in a brake controller if it doesn't have one built in, which I don't think the Armada has. And if your RAM has a built in controller, that means you'd have to buy one for the Armada.

Take two vehicles. Pileing everyone into ove vehicle would possibly overload any of the vehicles you hitched up to.

our excursion only has a tow rating or 10,000 and our trailer is about 8000 when ready to go. The only thing to watch is the tongue weight plus all the people and stuff. The weight you can carry will go over way before the weight you can pull.
