- Piece of cake. Cruise at 2200rpm in 5th on the highway, 4th gear for most hills, and 3rd gear should hold nearly any interstate grade at 60mph and 4500rpm. 2011+ have larger fuel tanks for the 6.5' bed and stronger frames than 2007.5-2010.
- Yes, any of the gassers need to rev to make power, but they are built to rev. The 2011 with 6-speed transmission will be a big improvement over the old 4-speed.
Jerry - I have an 01 with 4:10 gearing towing around 6500lbs. Yes, it struggles and screams in the hills. Flatlands it does awesome though.
- It's going to struggle and scream but it will pull it.
