Just came back from my first real tow with my 2500 Cummins Laramie Megacab. 24' enclosed trailer with car and all my spares, 29' total length. Probably 7-8k total trailer weight with about 1k on the hitch. Towed over the Grapevine here in CA which has a 6% grade for 5.5 miles. Left it in cruise control at 60-65 up and down in 5th. Except for when I had to pass it never downshifted and downhill I never once touched the brakes. ~1800 RPMs. No screaming gas engine going up the hill. Completely stable passing semi trucks.
Go drop your trailer on a go find the steepest hill you can find. It's a beast.
Nice! Used to love the grapevine haha.
Looking forward to first big tow in 2 weeks with my 2500 CTD. 4000 mile round trip!
