One more thing to consider, the max tow capacity using gooseneck hitch is 11380lbs. I am convinced that it is impossible to achieve the max tow weight because the pin weight would be closer to 20% of max tow weight which is over payload capacity for gas or diesel. The Nissan book shows max pin weight for truck at 1707lbs which is 15% of 11380lbs (gas version), i don't know of any trailer weighing 11380 to have pin weight of 15%, its more like 19-20% or more. The XD has potential, the specs look appealing but payload challenges don't support Nissans max ratings.
