We tow with a 2013 RAM 1500, but our "packages" are night and day. I have a Tradesmans model, 2 door, 2WD, Hemi, with and 8' bed. It has the HD tranny cooler, 373 rear end and almost 1700 lbs of payload. We pull a 2012 19' KZ Sportsmen Clssic 170 (3500#)with WDH/Anti-sway.
My experience is going to be way different then yours. I am basicly running empty as far as weight is concerned. Easy to pull, easy to stop. Trailer does not give me any problems.

You will be running a fully loaded 80,000lb semi. You have to work at it a bit more---all the time.
