Thank you all for the responses. To answer a few of the questions that were asked throughout this thread.
I am a very cautious driver and the speed limit her in Cali is 55 when towing. I never exceed 60 mph.I also drive for a living and practice good driving habits as I often encounter less than competent drivers on the road.
While my truck is a 2012 it only has 50,000 miles on it as I only drive it on the weekend.
I do have the HD cooling system and factory transmission cooler (I added a second cooler in line to keep my Temps a little lower).
As far as trailer maintenance, I repack my bearings and inspect my breaks once a year.
I ended up running new heavier gauge wires on my last trailer as I was losing voltage at the breaks after sitting for the winter.
