Havent weighed the load I towed yesterday but its gotta be darn near the max for my truck. Fully loaded 21'x7.5' v nose dual axel trailer. Got from 7.5-8.5 mpg going from central ny to clarksville TN. Truck pulled in 6th mostly when flat, 5th up some hills and 4th up some steep grades. Trans got to 204 I believe, it was near 90 with high humidity. Oil got to 245ish, coolant never got above 218. Only real hiccup was after fueling once, the truck didnt recognize I had the trailer. Fixed itself after the next fuel stop. Going by semis on the highway she didnt get pushed hardly at all. Big bumps settled out after one or two slight motions of the truck and trailer bouncing a small amount. Overall very impressive imo for a 1500 truck
