Now Unk, I gotta tell you. That towing capacity don't take the wind into consideration which a race car trailer is the absolute worst for wind. I would figure minimum camper top and wind deflector. Now about that turbo, sounds great on paper, but builds a lot of heat under steady heavy load. The harder you pull a turbo, the more it spools and the more heat it builds, and it's gotta pull hard for a 6 cyl to make that much hp and tqe. On the wind, my conversion (32 ft, 500 cummins, ) picked up 30% fuel economy when I put a wind deflector on the top to get the breeze over the top of the stacker. Also dropped about 5 to 10 degrees operating temperature. Just my opinion. I like a 3/4 ton Diesel.
