That is a nice Rig. That 7.3 will be working pulling that I would recommend(unless you have it already) is a DP Tuner with towing tunes for a little more power and to get better shifting points. Also a 6.0 Transmission cooler and gauges would be a must.
Have fun and wave when you go by my house on your way to Crater Lake!
Thanks
I already have the performance chip in the truck. The transmission cooler is a good idea though.
I was thinking about changing the butt gears if that is possible. I'll be talking to my mechanic.
When I was figuring towing capacities when I bought my last toy hauler gearing was one of the only factors that changed one truck rating from the other so that would be a thought. Especially if your truck is going to be used primarily for towing and not your daily driver. Your truck is probably 3.73 so changing to 4.10 would be great for towing a heavy 5th wheel. The thing is though if you change the rear you will have to change the front as well if your truck is a 4x4...
