The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # C17501 may be the right system, but it depends on the exact total tongue weight of your toy hauler.

The reason I say "may" is because to choose the correct weight distribution system, you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2016 Nissan Titan XD.

The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's GVWR but you'll want to verify it by using a scale such as the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044. From there, simply add on the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle and you'll have your TTW.

The ideal system would be one in which your TTW falls somewhere in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity, which is between 1,100 lbs and 1,500 lbs for the Curt TruTrack # C17501.

Curt does not have a TruTrack system that will work if your TTW is 1,000 lbs, so if it is 1,000 lbs, a similar system I recommend is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1200
