And as stated in your other post the brakes are an ever present danger...I've towed MANY thousands of miles over the years, often with a 15,000 pound trailer but thankfully with a dually cummings and it essentially made it a pleasant drive even over the Rockies. My 10,000 loaded Pace trailer is absolutely sweet behind the cummings. Seen some pretty scary stuff on Cabbage Hill going down into Pendleton, OR and Donner Pass into Reno, I won't bore anyone but I've seen the value of having "more" truck than you need umpteen times. Don't wait too long to make the switch, you may live to regret it.
