Anyone towing with e assist and 308 gears ?
I never thought I would camp again, sold my 350 cummins and camper. I bought an e-assist 5.3 with 308 gears. 25mpg all day long. I love the truck but we would like to buy a small trailer and travel...

5.3L is good. 3.08axle ratio with 8 or 10spd should have plenty of torque torque for acceleration and hills. You may want to upgrade the transmission cooler. What does owners manual say is the tow rating with 3.08 gear? The prior models with 6-spd were still 7k+ with HD trans cooler. I'd stick to around 5k dry for any high walled TT.
