I've towed a 5000# trailer up to Rocky Mtn Natl Park and over 8000' I need
a real heavy foot
and lot of gas money. Going up those hills from Denver to Estes Park
really slowed me down.
But I made it and back two times.
I've added octane boosters and use premium gas which keeps my 5.2 from
knocking.
(I think I have a belly pan gasket leak also )
I think the low restriction catback helped most.
Make sure your cooling system is in perfect shape. I think I had a bad
radiator cap that
really caused me some problem - radiator and waterpump went out.
My 3500# trailer weighed #5000 when loaded. Stop by a truck stop and get
weighed sometime.
