hello again seaotter...
i'm not a nissan basher...
the armada/titan are fine rigs and great for towing within limits...
the qx56 has the same specs as the armada correct?
gcwr is........................14,600-14,800 lbs
MAX tongue load is........910lbs with w/d gear
curb weight is...............5,400-5,700 lbs for the infinity
which leaves.................9,000 lbs for towing
IF the qx56 is EMPTY and without a hitch
a 30classic s/o is listed with a
tongue weight of 1,050 lbs
that doesn't include options, water, lpgas
while the ubw for the 30s/o is 7900lbs again thats with out fluids, lpgas or options....and ZERO personal gear...
don't interpret my post as picking on you or your equipment but 'ok' isn't enough info really is it?
and i'm only concerned for your safety on the roads...
how did all the sales people explain away the fact that the
tongue weigh IS more than the rating?
do you know the tire ratings? or rear axle rating? this info is on the door pillar...
i'll assume nothing has been weighed and you are relying on published data..
but the published data suggests you are over the limits
tell us more!
like others i hope you have many years of happy airstreaming...
cheers
