I had an 89 K2500 Chevy with the old LO5 HD 350 in it. I used to pull a 32' gooseneck cattle trailer with it (not very fast, however). Titan has much more power, but much less actual towing ability due to the rear axle design and rating.

The titan would be very suited to pull a 24' flatbed gooseneck or similar - but you can't put much weight on the rear axle, because it isn't designed for it. The factory gooseneck option is kind of a joke because you don't have the ability to haul loads with heavy tongue weights.

It is the truck equivalent of a linebacker playing footall in high heels. Looks the part, but dainty where the rubber meets the road.

Nissan should fix this ASAP. I know they think their market data shows people will never pull a heavy trailer anyway, but they should swallow their pride and offer a 3rd party rear axle on the diesel.
