Not as low on power, but in 92 did this with an 88 GM BB ext cab, 26' Terry Prowler. Found myself doing 15-20 mph in 1st gear. Not fun.
9 years later Thursday/Friday after 9-11, same trailer, 6.5td crew cab, did speed limit everywhere. Kids were 9-16. 1300 lbs of us. Same trailer 2000-2500 lbs heavier gcw. 4000 lbs over GM's gcwr! I'd do that trip in heartbeat again with same truck. My favorite truck I've owned. This 2014 1500 might be close behind, or get ahead of that one ...
