way cool. what are you hauling?
It's an 18 foot 7200 pound trailer carrying 2 Honda Recon 250 ATV's and Bombardier 400 Outlander Max 2 up ATV. Plus all the additional stuff my wife and 2 girls can throw in....sigh. With the 2 recons up front and the outy towards the back the tongue weight is around 450 pounds. The Q pulled it all with barely a thought. I had to check myself a couple of times as I checked the speedo and it was showing 70mph+. I like to keep it between 60-65. That way if I get a gust of wind or a semi passing the resulting wiggle if there is any is easier to hand.
Very impressed with how it handled and towed.
This was the shakedown trip and planning farther and longer trips this summer.

cool stuff bro. Nissan makes some good cars. One of my armadas I had (I had two but not at the same time) i towed a car (a 1991 VW passat--about 3K pounds ish) about 130 miles over hills and such and the armada did not even sweat. put that sucker in tow mode and it was smooth.. and tat was an armada made in US. the q is authentic japanese engineering so I am sure it handled perfectly.. 
Another ATV trip to southwest Wisconsin this time. 28MPH crosswinds for most of the ride there and the Q barely wiggled.
Getting 11MPG. Love this toy hauler!
Update:
Just got back from a long week in the UP of Michigan pulling the trailer full of ATV's and gear and pretty much the kitchen sink. The Q towed it beautifully! I sometimes forgot I had the trailer back there. I would pass people going up hills and would get weird looks like how can he do that.
The downside is the the whole inaccurate gas gauge. I did have the fix done at the dealer but I can still only get 18-19 gallons at fill-up. When you're averaging 10-11mpg you're stopping at a lot of gas stations. I know there is still gas in the tank but I still get nervous when the needle starts to get in the red. Wish there was a "real" fix for this issue.
