I had a setup almost identical to yours. Towed from BR to Long Beach,Ca several times. We usually took different routes for sightseeing. It pulled it fine, ran in third all the time. It was strong enough, but boy did it like plugs and coil packs. We alotted one day one each trip to replace at LEAST one. Got 7mpg uphill, downhill, headwind, tailwind or perfect conditions. Basically, it was an adequate truck.
