travel trailer weight
my travel trailer weights 4000 lbs, will I have any problems going up mountain passes with a vehicle that pulls a max. 6,500 lbs?

Rving is RVing. Yes it is great to have a well matched rig that takes the mountains in stride. But if you do not, you do not. Asking the board is a good start as it is always best to find out first.
I did not know what my old 200 hp. F-150 would do so I rented a 25 ft. TT similar to what I was going to buy and took it to the Ozarks.
Yup it was a challenge, slow and steady. But we learned that to pull the 6000 lb. loaded TT we wanted, we need about 350 hp. The 200 hp. would not have worked well in the Rockies.
We bought a new TV before we bought the TT. The E-boost does just fine in the Rockies.
Renting and driving beats all the theory, that is for sure.
