OP, you may have towed that setup already and have no problems with it. This year I also went bigger in trailer and stepped up to a 37' TT that has a dry weight of 7700 lbs. We have a Silverado 1500 and a Nissan Armada like yours. I pulled the TT with both vehicles trying to determine which was the best towing rig. While going down the highway pulling my barely loaded 7700 lb trailer I got extremely nervous on more than 1 occasion due to bumps in the road, big rigs passing me, etc. Two weeks ago I told the wife I wasn't pulling the camper again until I got a bigger truck. I went and bought a used 2001 dodge 2500 Cummins just to tow with. I can honestly say that I've been exactly where you are and I was extremely uncomfortable even though I was close or barely over the legal limits. All that to say, I know where you are coming from, but for me the Armada just didn't feel safe. My new to me old dodge with the stiffer suspension is a night and day difference while towing (not just because of the diesel but the weight and suspension of the truck also). I'd be surprised if you don't want something bigger to tow with after you lug that new TT down the road a few times. Good luck and have fun.
