I would not run that combo out here in the Pacific NW where we have real mountains.
Like the Cajun, I pull with a F450. Trailer is around 16,000 ready to go. Not a bad towing rig except for the 4R100 Transmission.
However, next truck will be at least 26,000 GVW.
If you want more reality answers, google and jump over the the Escapees Discussion Forum and post. Those guys like Class 8 Heavy duty Trucks modded to a single rear axle.

This F450 will be replaced with a heavier truck, maybe a Freightliner or a Peterbilt around 25,000 GVW. AND with a big manual transmission.
