Thanks guys.

The truck is re-geared with 4:56 gearing.
It also has a BANKS power upgrade getting it to nearly 400hp and 700 foot pounds of torque.

I typically tow one of three trailers:

The 16 foot open with up to about 3,000 pounds of equipment (about 5K pounds total) or,
The 24 foot enclosed setting at about 7-8K pounds total, or
The 33 foot light weight camper.

The distance is approximately 600 miles each way.

I also have a billet adjustable 10" drop that is rated higher than my steel 14" drop.... but it really creates a bad angle for the trailers.
