Rick,

I pull my 30' Classic (really 31') with my 6.0 Vortec and 4:10 gears. The 6.0 does an awesome job even on the long, steep grades out here in the west. I pass many a RV and fivers on the grades. It is a smooth engine with all the power you will need. Get that truck, you will not be sorry.

I added E load 10 ply Michelins and I love them. They are much stiffer when not towing but they feel great to tow with. I go with 65# when towing.

I'll have to reread the thread as I am unsure whether you bought the truck or were still thinking. I hope you get it. Good luck!
