Yeah we are heavy. There are some things that help.
We don't have air conditioning (northern New England makes it possible). Instead we have 2 Fantastic Fans.
I rarely travel with a full water tank. Most times 1/4 full (100#) vs full 50 gallon, (400#).
But I am comfortable with how it feels driving down the road and we tend to be on winding, secondary "country" roads much more than Interstates. It does depend upon how much experience someone has driving a heavily loaded pickup.
This is our EC on our 2015 trip to Canada. Here we are stopped on PEI. As it sits there we have our minimal gear for 10 days plus some food/drink. It has about 1/2 full water tank (25 gallons).
I always set only 30-35# into the airbags. 3970# capacity tires all around (with 70#F/80#R). Sway is handled by a BigWig.
Not bad for a 3/4 ton truck. We like it.
