The reason I say that, my TC loaded weighs about 1800 pounds and when I pull my 2000 pound boat my half ton truck struggles climbing the steep hills by my house. My next truck will be a GMC 2500.

I see. A TC is a little too much for any half-ton in my opinion. There's not enough payload capacity. My half-ton pulls my TT just fine and I travel with it in the 6200 pound range. I'v pulled some steep grades as well and kept my speed just fine.
