Don't forget that you have a break-in period before towing your trailer. If you look in the owner manual it will identify that you should vary your speed for 500 miles not exceeding 55 mph. That is what my 2008 owner manual specified. Just a reminder and my 2 cents.
Thank you. I appreciate the advice. A lot of people forget that. With modern vehicles, the engines are machined very close tolerances and don't need much break in. It is the gears in the rear end that really need the time and heat cycling to bed in. I'm driving empty to TN so it will give me plenty of time to break in the truck. It should have about 2200 miles on it before I connect.
I also am having the dealer install the B&W turnball and companion 5th wheel. I was a little put off by how the companion mounts to the turnball, but I hope it will be OK.
