We own a 2013 XLR 27 hfs, purchased it in the fall of 13, drug it back and forth to Denver twice down I-25. Mine ways 6300lbs dry, which is the way I was towing it with my 11 ram 1500 4x4. We have a weight distribution/antisway hitch, trailer was very well behaved running 75mph, however going up a moderate grade my hemi struggled to keep us and 60 mph, it would do it, it just wasnt happy.
We have since switched to a 13 ram 2500 ctd, I am alot happier pulling with the diesel, I approximate our weight around 7500-8000lbs loaded, I think the 1500 would have struggled on mountain passes pulling that much weight.
Hope this helps.
