We have a 2009 Expy that we pull our KZ301 bunkhouse with. The TT is 29' of actual trailer plus the added length of the hitch. I think the dry wieght which I know doesnt mean anything is around 6,400#. We travel light with no water and our three kids are still young and small. Even with my Equalizer dialed in, (and it took me awhile to get it right). I still have about 1 3/4" of squat in the back that I cannot get rid of. The tow is solid and I do not have problems with semis passing. I usually tow at about 63 MPH, this seems to be the sweetspot. The 5.4 is adequate for power, but you need to let it rev on the hills ... in the 4K-4.5K range and this is with the 6 speed tranny. I would be much better off with a 3/4 ton platform, I know this, but I cannot get a different tow vehicle. There is no way I would want to tow anything bigger, I am OK driving my current rig, but a larger TT would bring me many white knuckle trips I imagine. Good luck in your TT search.
