when you go into PRINT, can you 'print to PDF', then it will ask for a file name?

Hello friends. I’m still new to this forum and still exploring all the great intel here. All you folks are way more experienced than I am. We still are not Oliver owners yet but are using this forum as a basis of information. 
My question here is after reading HD RIDERs very extensive compilation of tow vehicles, mine was not included. Which made me wonder about its ability to tow a LE II competently. Just last year we purchased a 2023 Nissan Titan Platinum Reserve 4x4 not so much as a tow vehicle for an Oliver but for my boat. Our priorities have now changed as we’ve sold our boat and are looking forward to exploring having an Oliver as our home away from home. We plan, as of now anyway, to use the Andersen Hitch and are only planning short getaways for maybe a week around the southeast ( not climbing the Rockies or pounding our way to Alaska, just yet ). Your opinions will be greatly appreciated and noted.

I'm sure you'll be fine, considering the two capacity, with an Andersen.

I think there is at least one person here towing with a Titan XD, but I can't remember who. I'll see if I can find him or her for you.

Since Nissan only sold about 40,000 Titans  over the last two years (compare to 750,000 f-series in 2023 alone), it's not too surprising that we don't see much about them.

I'm sure you're enjoying that 5 year warranty, and Nissan's great, comfortable seats. One of my friends tows her casita with a Nissan Frontier, and she loves it.

So, at least three Titan tow vehicles in our forum group. Imelda (Titan SV) and RoadLotus and KennyandPenny tow with Titan XDs. I was surprised to find that many. You could pm them for more info on their experiences.

Nice truck, but I can't see it handling very well in the water... 🦆🚣‍♂️

My Titan isn’t an XD. Just a regular 1/2 ton. According to Nissan, it has a 9200 lb. towing capacity. But I know from some research that number is affected by many facets.

Perhaps even more important is the load capacity - how much stuff can it carry?

Find the sticker inside the driver's door jam and then add up your hitch weight, plus all the other things you carry (like people,  dogs, equipment in the bed, etc.) and compare those two numbers.  Most 1/2 trucks have a "limited" capacity in this regard.

Does anyone tow with a passenger or cargo van, converted or stock? I saw a picture on the owner’s FB of an OLEll trailered by a Sprinter. If someone knows of a worthy van with appropriate tow and cargo capacity I’d like to know. Thanks

I answered my own question! Seems the best choice is either a Chevy Express or GMC Savana cargo work van; highest tow and cargo capacity ratings for 2500 and 3500 van models. Yesterday’s visit to the COW Barn to check on the Oliver.
