Not sure where you're located Steve but I have basically the same truck with a 70 HP towing tune. I pulled the hill on Simmonds Road in Kenmore Wa. with my buddy's 15K# boat in tow. His 454 Suburban could only do 25 up this hill and he was afraid he was going to blow it up so he asked me pull it for him. I Started from a dead stop at the bottom of the hill and let off at 65..
A few weeks later he bought a new Dodge. ;)
Funny :)
I recently bought a gas Chevy 2500 with the 6.0 to pull my little trailer. I hate it. I took one trip from Dayton to Granite Falls and back. Upon arriving at home I promptly put a for sale sign on it.
To speak to someone other comments:
The trip will be between St. Johns Arizona and a remote site out in the sticks. The trailer carries about 1500 gallons of water.
I don't know if I mentioned it before but this is a gooseneck trailer with two 10k axles.
Thanks again Everyone for the input.
