Well, a little late to this party, but my $0.02 - We just pulled a 38 ft fiver at 17,500 lbs with an F450 from Virginia to West Yellowstone, MT. Your 6.4 will do fine. The truck itself, well Smokey's right. How will your SRW handle winds? I caravan'd out here with a couple in a 38 ft motorhome. They fault the wind all across SD, WY, and MT. DW drove 98% of the time across those states. She noticed the winds once. Her comment: "It drives so, so much better than our old F250 with the 27ft travel trailer. I could (and she did) drive this rig all day." So, not driving in those states? Well, I've seen 18 wheelers flipped by non tornado or trpoical storm winds just south of Quantico, VA on I-95. Ya never, never know! Good luck!! David
