Just completed a weekend's tow of a 3500lbs trailer/machine combo. This is the first thing I've towed with the new truck and it did a splendid job. Running stock and 3.21 gearing.

Easy peasy. Stay safe out there!

Nice!

If that ramp wasn’t there you would have had a much easier tow.

That is true, even though (from the angle) you can't see the ramps are steel mesh, not solid.

But even so, it was almost like having a bit of air brakes/spoiler up all the time. Using tow/haul mode, it never got past 7th gear, even on the highway at 70+.
