Thanks for all the replies fellas appreciate it. Brought the FW home today. Truck handled it great, I won't lie all the forums and people's opinions had me second guessing a lot !! So advice for anyone going forward trust in the numbers.
Hooking up i was relieved, truck sat nice and level. I was even more impressed when I put her in D let off the brake and w/o any throttle input at all she started pulling it. On the road they together felt very solid, zero sway, no bouncing, nothing but a little tugging here and there. I do however have a call into the dealership, driver side trailer brake squeals like a stuck pig, at first it was just a tad bit as I got on with the trip it got worse only under breaking. I also do need to get a better feel for the trailer brakes in general. I think they are a bit too sensitive almost like the trailer is actually braking the truck like a parachute never felt like it was pushing at all almost like it was dragging. Oh and with the truck in tow/haul mode I gotta say I was real impressed with the downshift engine breaking felt in total control of this rig the whole time. I do need practice with backing into the driveway but all in all it took fifteen mins to get her in "just the right spot" an really I was being a little OCD about it.
Anyway just wanted to let you all know I appreciated your input and that we got her home safely !! And I hope if there are any other out there (which it looks like there's a ton) that the tread helps you out !
