1,300 pounds is nothing. I towed about 1,000 lbs of trailer and equipment from Utah to Los Angeles at speeds exceeding 75 mph without a problem. The best measure is the transmission temperature gauge. It ran about 5 degrees warmer than normal -- -- which makes sense.

I split the driving with a friend who is a traffic engineer. He said, "Georgie this thing isn't a truck. It's a locomotive with tires."

Ignore the salesmen and have fun.
