Everybody is gonna have a different experience towing with their setup. I'm towing a big Jayco with an Armada (pic in profile) and have had a most enjoyable time. Using a Hensley Arrow hitch for added security because of the shorter wheel base. I've been over some pretty big hills out here in the So West as well as high temps while climbing some of those hills. I'm happy to roll at 40 ~ 45 mph on the worst of hills so far and freeway speeds I maintain 60~ mph. A little faster as needed when passing but not much more than that. It has served us well.
I had an enjoyable time for my two camping trips with my very-over-weight Acadia towing a 30 foot trailer. I was naive and thought 5200lbs meant that I could get a trailer up to 5200lbs, then load the Acadia full of stuff and people and head out. I even moved stuff into the Acadia because I thought that was a better way to do it.
