Sure, but he has 3.73 gears and with the 4 speed, that will make a big difference.... ;)
You just have expectations that your truck can't achieve... It sounds like you want it to haul up the grades in OD and going 65 mph.. Passing, you want it to accelerate the moment you hit the gas and make your pass... ;)
I still think the OP will be fine with it as long as his towing expectations is not like when it's not towing anything... :)

Agree. Many think the truck is supposed to drive the same loaded or not. It don't y'all.
i agree, this is probably what people think when they say it struggles!
On the TW, properly loaded you should be around 800lbs. it doesn't have to be 15%. i would shoot for 12-13%. that is where i have been on all my trailers and they all handle great!
