2017 Nissan Titan XD S model diesel

Lot of talk about the Titan XD having an over-engineered frame, engine (Cummins), tranny (Aisin), and differential. No argument there. However, very disappointed Nissan elected to use semi-floating axles---exactly the same design found on 1/2-ton trucks. All 3/4 ton trucks have full-floating axles. IMO, these semi-floating axles are the Titan XD's Achilles heal in terms of payload. Easy to rationalize this truck is a 3/4-ton truck in disguise, but the fact remains the payload ratings (and the semi-floating axles) say otherwise.

^oops. Scratch the last half of my comment. Tow away!

Numero uno and dont look back. Would tow beautifully behind that truck.

I agree....

And BTW the OP is not asking opinions on what type of truck to purchase as he already has a Titan XD.

In your other thread I said that truck is a good match for those trailers and a very nice truck all around with a seemingly bulletproof drivetrain although not a lot of big milers yet since they're new model.
But 100% what IDA D said. Unless there's a compelling reason to get the XD, look at the cost of a 3/4 ton diesel for comparison. You get more truck in the same size "box" with a 3/4 or 1 ton.

It's funny how this forum bases everything on payload only, if it's a 1/2 ton(+?) truck. If it was a 3/4 ton truck the payload no longer seems to matter, it's all about the rear axle rating. My '17 Ram CTD would be over payload with those trailers too but nobody would bat an eye. What's the difference?

If the OP can tow those fivers and be under the axle and tire ratings there should be no problem, even if it is only a 5/8 ton truck ;)

I'm not going to bother giving you my opinion, but I will share some advice.
You will get a lot of varying opinions here. Beware of those that give their opinion without the numbers to back it up.
The limiting factor as to what you can pull with your Nissan is payload. If you post the payload of your truck you will get better advice.
Fifth wheel hitches can be heavy and eat up payload. Don't forget to factor that into your decision.
RVs are lousy investments. You don't want buy one and then decide it isn't for you. Find an RV show in your area and spend some time trying to figure the ideal floor plan for you.
Don't believe anything a salesman tells you. As a group they lie like rugs and don't have your best interests in mind. In their world everything is half-ton towable.
Familiarize yourself with RV terminology. Manufacturers use the dry weight (UVW) as a sales tactic and make it easy to find. It's useless. Only go by the wet weight (GVWR).
Manufacturers know that most of the trucks out there are half tons. In order to make their trailers "half-ton towable," they skimp on the bones, i.e. the frame. These trailers won't be as durable. Educate yourself about axle and tire capacities as they tend to push it to the limit of what they are rated for.
Once you have found your ideal trailer, go back and make sure it isn't too much trailer for your truck. There are trailers out there that are fine to pair up with your Nissan, but there are many, many, more that are not.
Keep reading and researching. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I think it would work fine. The ratings on the XD aren't great but real world I would bet it's a definite step up from a regular half ton based on the curb weight and torque of the diesel. That said I also think a regular HD diesel would work better for about the same expense, so that's the way I would go. The Cummins in the Ram is less complex and more powerful, in a heavier truck. Mileage is a wash.

1200 pound dry pin weight means more like 1600 pounds loaded. Add 200 pound receiver, people in the cab, and any other cargo around the pinbox. Seems like you should have at least 2500 pounds of payload available. So as you shop note what each truck has on the driver's door sticker for Max combined weight of occupants and cargo should not exceed.

The XD and the 220RK would be a good match.

Caution. Don't use that swiveling pin box with a B&W Companion hitch if you had that in mind. Unless it has a feature to lock out the swivel and use as a regular pin box.

I'm thinking that truck and trailer would make a pretty nice combo assuming you load the trailer and not the truck.
