It will pull the weight. How fast or comfortably is another question.

What are the details on the truck? 2wd or 4wd, axle gear ratio and GVWR? Crew cab or extended cab? There are a lot of variables - I think the tow ratings for that truck could vary substantially.


4WD

Crew cab
6.0L




4WD and the crew cab will seriously eat into your payload. That combo cries out for at least a 4:10 rear end.
