No issues from last year, drive her with respect all has been good. Don't forget in tow mode Nissan manual wants you in 4th gear.
Ah thanks for the info. I will use 4th gear next time.

I have an 06 Titan still running like a dream and pulls my 195bh. Is 4D the same thing as 4th?

D is 5th. 4 is 4rth gear. RPMS increase yes. I'll go to D or 5 th gear only on flat so as not to dog tranny.

Just read through the manual. I do not see it either. I was going by what the dealer had told me that it was in there never really checked. However I did do a Google search and in several titan forums, I find several articles supporting fourth gear while towing staying out of overdrive. That said I guess you could do whatever works best for your situation and that's pretty much what I've been doing. For clarity though I do not see it when looking for it then spend a lot of time however.

I looked through it also and didn't find it. I know many people drop to 4th, and I sometimes do on steep hills, but I had never heard of a factory recommendation to do that. Thats kind of what the tow button does to help reduce shifting.
