Question:

I have a 2014 Nissan Armada 4wd with the towing package and rear air suspension. The trailer I will be pulling has a Dry Weight 5,655 lbs. Payload Capacity 2,090 lbs. GVWR 7,745 lbs. Hitch Weight 745 lbs. What hitches would you recommend?

Expert Reply:

There is a hitch you can use for your 2014 Nissan Armada to pull a trailer that heavy (please check your owner's manual to ensure your vehicle has the capacity for that heavy of a trailer), the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13188.

The only way to reach the 7,745 lb GVWR and 745 lb tongue weight capacities of your trailer is to also add a weight distribution system. The reason is, the Curt hitch has a 6,000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity by itself, but those ratings shoot up to 10,000 lb towing/1,000 lb tongue weight if you also use a weight distribution system.

So what you will need to do is add the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA94-00-1000.
