What are your experiences towing with this vehicle

Towed an 8000# loaded TT and it was a GREAT fit.
Now tow a 10,500# loaded 5th wheel and it's a good fit.
I have 3.73 gears and it would probably be a bit better with the 4.10s but they are hard to find.
The biggest complaint I have (and it's a common complaint) is the mile gap between 1st and 2nd gear. Slow, winding roads while towing are a pain. Basically, you can rev it out in 1st gear up to about 35 or lug in 2nd gear and hop back to 1st often.
On the highway and up steep grades I can easily pull the speed limit. It's all about being able to get the RPMs to where the engine makes power. This thing is a workhorse as long as you can get to the sweet spot - 3500RPM+.
