Awesome times times ahead for you both.
Please be sure to give feedback in the Titan thread about how the towing is.
Edit: ok, apparently there isn't one for the Titan diesel. Let's change that eh?

The Titan XD is available in both gas and diesel versions, although most of the publicity was about the diesel. Tim, which engine does your Titan XD have?

We got the diesel and it tows like a dream. Tons of torque. Got 20 mpg on the 4-day drive to Chilliwack. Will be interesting to see the mileage towing.

Please keep us posted, if I were to get another tow, it would be the diesel Titan. That said I got 19 avg unladen on way to Chilliwack and now avg 15-16 towing with the Ram 8 speed.

Your fabric and flooring choice look beautiful! Can't tell if your Formica is custom too but it all compliments each other nicely. Great look!

Thanks! We selected our own Formica, too as well as a different sink.

Is it my imagination or is that trailer raised?

The nose looks high. May need to either adjust the pin box or the hitch to get it to ride level. Bill

It looked like it to me as well. Probably the high lift axle option?

Hard to tell. The trailer isn't dead straight behind the truck in the photo, so the slight nose up appearance may be an optical illusion.

Without the distraction of the truck, it certainly looks high in the photo taken in the building (presumably at delivery).

That would be the obvious explanation. In that photo it is unhitched and level, so it isn't the way a hitch is set up... both tires have a lot of clearance to the fender well, and the tops of the tires are barely above the top of the frame. Compare to the image on the Escape Trailer website, with the tops of the tires well above the frame (attached); the difference appears to be even more than the 2-5/8" lift of the spacer kit.
Tim, can you confirm that this trailer has the "High Lift Axle" (spacer) option?
