Not enough HP/Torque, I have driven several back to back. We tow 7500# with a 300HP Cat / 860# torque 8 mpg @ 70 mph and it seems ok until you hit the mountains. I would suggest higher torque and a side radiator for cooling. The rear radiator with an intercooler gets hot if they are not cleaned and maintained.
