What gear ratio do you have?
I just got a '16 end of the year sale. Got everything I wanted except the gear ratio. Slim pickens this time of year. I ended up with 330's. I wanted 410 or at least a minimum of 373. Salesman said only dually get 410 and the 330 has the same tow rating as 355, 15000#. My GVCW with quad and TT is 18000.
I'm really afraid these gears are too tall. Guess I'll find out tomorrow towing over the central mountains of Idaho.
I re-geared my old Super Duty gasser from 373 to 430. Wow, what an improvement!! I all ready talked to my Dealer who said they can put in any gear I want including 410.
Fellow Idahohan here. You'll love that setup. My Ram has 3.42 and less power and it doesn't even break a sweat at a similar combined weight with my fifth wheel. You can choose any speed you want even on the big hills we have out here. 6 speed transmissions make a higher rear end ratio in these newer diesels a non-issue until you start getting into some very heavy weights.
I think you're going to be extremely impressed tomorrow.
