Well, of course the Armada is "light weight" compared to an F-250. It's even lighter weight when compared to an F-450. However, it is comparable to an F-150 or Expedition EL and with a #9,100 tow rating and a #15,100 GCWR it exceeds the requirements I'm placing on it with my particular #6,900 trailer by a comfortable margin.
I just thought it seemed reasonable that the tongue weight should be distributed between the front and rear axle at the same ratio as the empty TV weight. It does tow pretty good but seems to wiggle a little when 18 wheelers go by. I suppose that could be a function of the fact that the Armada has a pretty short wheelbase compared to a pick-up.
I'll check the Nissan web site and see what they say but haven't seen anything yet.
Thanks for everyone's input.
