Thanks for all of the replies! All of this stuff has already been purchased and I've read all of these things about my truck and trailer over and over and over. I'm aware of the risks and feel I'm mitigating them pretty well. I bought the fancy hitch not because I thought my vehicle was inadequate, but because I wanted the best towing experience. We get some nasty cross winds here in Oklahoma and semi trucks. We have a couple long downhills down south on I-35 but they're pretty straight and not terribly steep. And if I find that my tow vehicle is indeed inadequate, this is America! I'll go trade it in on a Super Duty! HA!
