Sorry, but he's at least 1,000 lb. over the GCWR. Do the math.

Trailer = 1,500
Tractor = 2,600
Nissan 4x4 = 4,600 (approx., incl. people, fluids, and stuff).

His GCWR is 7,700 so he's at least 1,000 lb. over. In my state they seize the whole deal. As well they should... overweight towing is a danger to perfectly innocent people and totally indefensible.

The most common cause of premature AT failure is overheating due to towing. True even with the correct axle ratios and tranny cooler which he most likley does not have.
