your match
Your math is off slightly I believe... you are using the 4760 # when you should be using the 5860 # 4760 lbs represents the weight of the TT when it is hitched to the the Path (which is not sitting on the scale). 5860 lbs represents the weight of only the TT on the scale (attached to nothing) The nu...

towing in 4x4 auto
I agree, intuitively I thought 4x4 would be less desireable and began driving in 4x2. I noticed the vehicle was swaying a little (everything was balanced very well !)

No Sag

XPS
I'll check out the XPS links and am curious about that. How much do the air bags in the rear end cost?
I've towed this trailer multiple times w/out issue, the distance has usually only been between 75 -150 miles.
I'm just concerned about longevity and doing it right

Hydrogen Fueled....
I installed a hydrogen fuel cell in my '05 Pathfinder and now get ~18city and 22hwy so that's pretty cool.
But I'm here to ask for your help. I'm posting in the 2005-2012 Pathfinder (R51) section under the topic R51 Engine, Driveline and Powertrain
Thanks!!
