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...

OP said "cruise at 65 in the low 2000 rpm range" My ram in overdrive runs right around 2000 rpm at 65 while towing. When it has to drop to 7th, RPM's run around 2700 or so...
I'm not sure that the trans temp is a concern, I believe my trans normally warms up to 220 very quickly and runs around 228 towing or not. Maybe those temps are our of range for the trans the OP has..not sure.
I think payload is going to be more of a concern, depending on how many people and how much 'stuff' ends up in the back of the truck.
