We just got back from a trip up to Niagra Falls in Canada and drove about 850 miles round trip towing our 5500# Travel Trailer. I barely knew it was back there compared to towing it with my old 1/2 ton 5.4L Suburban. My RPMs stayed around 2000 @ 60 - 65 mph in OD.
The old truck felt like it was going to explode if I went over 60 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/depressed.gif. There was one point when I passed a tractor trailer and found myself at 80 MPH. I hardly felt it, but having the wife and kids with me I backed down real fast! Its nice knowing the truck can handle 80 while towing, but my safety zone is 60 - 65.
