Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 10 percent of the 9,500 lb conventional maximum is 950 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Questions
- How much can a 2009 Nissan Titan tow?
- The highest conventional-hitch rating for the 2009 Nissan Titan is 9,500 lb, the top of 27 rows transcribed from Nissan’s 2009 Nissan Titan brochure (specifications). That row is printed for the 5.6L V8, King Cab, Standard Bed bed, 2WD, XE, Max Utility Package. Most configurations are rated lower: 25 of the 27 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2009 are below 9,500 lb.
- Did Titan towing change for 2009?
- Nothing on file says the published maximum changed for 2009. That is not the same as proof that it stayed the same.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 9,500 lb conventional maximum is printed for the 5.6L V8, King Cab, Standard Bed bed, 2WD, XE, Max Utility Package.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2009 Titan?
- At the cited 9,500 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 950 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.
