Trailer is probably closer to 2000 lbs.
Fuel is 6 lbs. / gallon.

You ought to be about right on 500 lbs. for extras on the boat alone, like tools, coolers, anchors, lines, and all the little stuff.
Then you need a jack and spare tire(s) for the trailer.

Remember, when you add passengers and gear to the truck, you subtract from the total weight you can tow. This has to do with the GCWR.

Also, does that tow rating on the Titan have a Weight Distribution hitch restriction? I'm willing to bet your trailer is not currently set up for a WD hitch.

If you are bent on the Titan, I'd suggest a test tow. Truck sales are hurting right now. If they want to sell a truck, tell them you have to do a test tow with it. Get the boat on the trailer, and strap it down well, and do an emergency stop. Let your butt pucker be your deciding factor.

However, I highly advise taking advice from those who have been there. It is very nice to be towing at 66-75% of your total towing capacity, compared to 90% +. (Speaking from experience here as well.)

Brakes are also VERY important. Do you have surge brakes on your trailer, or Electric/Hydraulic? Remember, surge brakes only work when you are going STRAIGHT. If you have any kind of angle/turn between the truck and trailer, your surge brakes don't work, and the weight of the trailer will just push the truck around. All the more reason to have a heavier truck. E/H brakes do not have this issue.

As said in the Trucks forum. Its better to have and not need; than need and not have.

Thank you for all the input,will keep on looking for something to pull the boat .

I tow my 36 w/ a quad cab 3500 dodge diesel and it tows great. As sydwayz says, take the titan on a test tow. I would defintely get electric brakes on the trailer, and take this to the bank, GET A NAME BRAND TRAILER not a round the town trailer. If I had to do it again I would have got the loadrite trailer. My trailer is a POS.


Good Luck

I used to pull my 36 with my Tahoe all the time.... didnt go far just in and out of the ramp and to the house for cleaning/detailing....
