I'm towing a 25' 1978 Tradewind which weighs about 4500# dry and a tongue weight of about 600#. The tow vehicle is a 2001 Tahoe 4x4 with factory tow package, rated to tow roughly 7500#.
I've been up some mountains with it; matter of fact I bought it in Greeley, CO and towed it home to Phoenix.
The "towability" is fine in terms of sway and stability. I'm also using a Reese Dual Cam hitch, which I believe helps a bunch. Engine power is, to me at least, on the lower end of acceptable for a 4500# trailer. We're fine on the flats, but going up hill gets a little embarassing
I'm thinking you'd be happier and safer with more tow vehicle slash less trailer.
