Well I picked up my 20 footer boat today and drove it home 180 miles in the rain....
verdict... I forgot I was towing anything half the time....
Boat and trailer were around 4500LBs, tandem axle...
light wind from the south, never had any sway...
My new TOW mirrors were awesome and I would never tow without them... the wide angle lens shows everything including the idiots merging into the freeway that wanted to beat me... some people just don't know that the merging lane is YIELD....
Mostly drove in 4th although I tried using OD and the transmission never heated up but I didn't like the sound of the engine... sounded somewhat strained at 1800rpm vs 2000rpm in 4th gear....
I love my TRUCK!!!
