Truck for a 5000# travel trailer
This is my first post to this forum. I'm sure many of you have seen this type of question posted before, but I'd appreciate your input. My wife and I retired last year and bought a 2011 Gulf Stream...

I have a '16 ram 1500 4x4 crew cab with the 5.7 hemi and 3.92 gears. If I remember right it's rated at hauling a shade over 10k...my '13 jayco X23B weighs in loaded just under 5k and I get an average of 9.5 mpg while pulling it up or down a mountain at 65-70 mph(compared to 19-21 mpg empty). Other than the fuel mileage, I don't even know it's behind me. This is with the truck in stock form, I'm looking into intake and exhaust and wondering what that will do for me.
