Is this truck going to pull the rig level?? Yup..
Right after I got home from picking the new (to us) truck I lifted the rear stabilizers and the front end of the rig and hooked it to the truck. I walked 50 yrds to the side of the whole rig and set a level on a tripod and the rig was level.. Amazing. The new truck bed rails are 4 inches higher that out 06. I have spent the last two days loading the truck with the generators and rack (against the front of the bed) The aluminum box between the hitch and the gennies. The first section of the 3 section tonneau cover covers the gennies and 3/4 pf the box lit and is held down with thumb screws. So the generator rack and gas can are invisible from the rear of the truck even with the back two sections folded forward for towing. All my cribbing and t-posts and t-post driver are hidden up there and I bought a large wheeled trunk to keep fuel and oil stuff near the tailgate while towing. It is like driving a football field. But with the parking assist and backup camera is isn't too bad parking. But it does stick out on either end of an average space.. It's turning radius is a bit bigger than my 06. But it has a REAL fuel tank 36 gallons and I can do the last 3 legs of this trip with only one fuel stop per day..

Dave, This truck has much stronger springs than your 06. It will carry much more load and not squat.

The real question is can you only stop once per day for fuel????

Hope you have many great towing adventures with your new truck. Enjoy. The 36 gal beats 28/29 any day.
