Hello everyone:
I bought a new Nissan Titan crew cab 4X4 for pulling my travel trailer. I love the truck, the room it has the power is great but the milage is not what I expected. Maybe I expect too much thats why I'm looking for your input.
My trailer when empty weighs in at an even 6000lbs. I 'm sure I dont put more then 1000lbs more in it so it cant weigh more then 7000lbs. much below the rated 9700lbs it can pull. I drive at about 60 to 65 mph. I have 3300 miles on the truck so maybe it will get better?? I've checked it twice and got 7.5 and 8.5 MPG. I was hoping for around 10mpg. I met a guy at a campgound with a Titan and a 6000lbs trailer. he said he gets 10 to 12 pulling and uses overdrive. I tried to use overdrive and as soon as I put it in overdrive my speed starts to drop. If I try to push down on the gas it downshifts right away. by the way his titan has11000 mile on it.
The dealer said he hasent had anyone tell him about any titans that pull with this issue.
Any thoughts on this would be helpfull
Thanks
