Um...I have a 2000 ram 4x4 with a 318, and a 23' safari. I just tooks a trip to a fairly mountainous area, and I thought it was fine. (not "stellar", but it does the job). I did go up a couple of really steep hills @40mph in 2nd gear. But I also passed more than one vehicle during the trip. I was definately not the slowest thing on the road. With my rear-end configuration, the max towing capacity is 7200lbs. The 23' safari has an empty weight of 3500lbs. 5800 is the max weight.
Funny: a couple of times, I got stuck behind some old-lady driving at an unreasonably slow speed, and a long line of cars formed behind us...of course, they couldn't see anything but me and my silver trailer in their way.. I just knew they all thought it was me being the slow-poke. I wish I could have put up a sign saying "its not me, really!" LOL!. A couple of them got a big surprise when they tried to pass, and realized they had more to get around than me and my relatively small trailer.
