For about 10K miles have towed an up to 8500#, 64sqft frontal, but only 29' long trailer with a 2011 MaxTow EcoB 4x2 SCab. Currently a bit under the truck's GVWR and a little over the rear GAWR.
Wouldn't want to tow anything heavier or much longer without the HD Payload package or a SuperDuty. And even with what I'm towing, upgrading the suspension and tires of the MaxTow was essential IMHO for a stable tow. The HD Payload package would have been cheaper and better, but what I have now is OK.
But if I were towing a 35' bumper pull, would look seriously at a Propride hitch no matter what the TV. My Equal-I-Zer along with the 15% tongue weight is making for a stable tow now, but with a much longer trailer ... we've encountered some extreme side winds in our travels.
