I am pulling an R-vision Trail-lite 30 foot trailer. The trailer loaded weighs about 6500 lbs loaded. I have an equalizer hitch and a Prodigy brake controler, I highly recommend both especially the equalizer hitch with sway control. I have pulled the rig about 800 miles so far in Florida and southern Georgia in 90 degree temperatures. The truck pulls like a dream on flat ground. I keep my speed down to 60-65 mph. I average (believe it or not) 9.8 to 10 mpg. The only negative I noticed is the tranny temp goes up to about 200 degrees. I was told by two service reps from 2 different dealerships not to worry, the temps are normal. Good luck with the purchase maybe we will meet on the road.
