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...

Sorry, but what your looking for does not exist; in a gasoline engine anyway.
Well, one engine might do what your look for, or be close anyway; the Ecoboost will be the closest to what you're looking for.
If you want to be around 2K you will need a diesel engine.
Gasoline engines make horsepower with RPM unless you have a turbo to force the air in at low RPM. What you want is horsepower at a low RPM and that is a diesel engine.
You will be close with an Ecoboost though.
Happy hunting.
On edit: You're going to need a BUNCH of horsepower to tow a trailer at 65 MPH up big hills in the west. IMHO you're being unrealistic with what you're trying to do.
