Again I appreciate the feedback. Based on an earlier suggestion I hooked up to my boat and pulled it from Greenville to Ashville. 6% grade over 5 miles. I used trailer tow button. Truck down shifted on climb several gears but did not wind out RPMS above 3000 a few times when passing semis. I would normally take it slower but ran 65 without a problem and passed trucks. Boat is deep V 23ft weight on ID tag is 5280 dry. I towed with gear and full tank of gas. Really need to get on a Truck Scale to confirm. However the newer V6 seems to be making a big block V8 guy pretty surprised...Maybe scales will show weight is lighter. I'll post actual data afterwards.
