Palomino ss 800 on Titan CC

Does anyone have a Nissan Titan CC with a Palomino ss 800 or similar TC. If so does it work well. This is not for me but for my son who is ready to move out of the tent.
  • The 800 will put a real strain on the truck's rear suspension, due to the fact that it will most assuredly push right past the truck's RAWR by itself, plus the fact that the COG will be about a foot behind the rear axle, shifting a bunch of the truck's front end weight on to the back axle too.

    In short it will not be pleasant even if you make the typical mods like LT tires, airbags, and helper springs. Pure weight issues notwithstanding, this is a PHYSICS issue that no amount of add-ons will cure.

    Add to that, Palominos aren't all that well built, and odds are the 800 is designed to be supported by 6'6" of bed, not 5'6". That unsupported foot could prove to be an issue somewhere down the line, in the form of a sagging camper.

    He'd be much better off with the models specifically made for his 5'6" bed, though he will still be overweight.
  • Thl Palomino is for trucks with 6.5 foot beds.Wt will be 1800 lbs loaded with 200 lb driver and 200 lbs of stuff.
    new ones will be more,as they are about 150 lbs heavyer.

    I have seen them on
    ford,Dodges and Tundra
  • Well I know the Palomino ss 550 and the Northstar TC 650 are designed with the 1/2 ton 5'6" bed trucks in mind and I have seen some mounted. I was concerned about the center of gravity mostly.
  • AFAIK that truck has 900# payload...maybe not the best for carrying a TC.
    You really would have to check the glove box and hit the scales...

    Good luck, Bill
