We have 2 trucks at work that are used for towing a 24ft enclosed car hauler type trailer that is loaded with a few cabinets and a John Deere Gator. Loaded weight is around 5500-6000 lbs.
Both trucks are 2wd, 2500,4 door shortbeds with the 6.0 motor.Get the lowest rear end gearing(highest numerically) you can. One of our trucks has the highest axle gearing and it is horrible to tow with. Slow off the line and struggles to maintain 65mph on the highway..The other has the lowest gearing and it's much nicer to use.
