    Sounds like fun! I think if you took a measurement of all the fender/wheel well heights before and after you hitch up it'll tell you a lot. You'll be nowhere near any capacities for axles or payload, but it'd be nice to know if your headlight angles changed much, if only to spare oncoming traffic at night. And if a little WD hitch action would fine tune things after your gear is loaded and you put a little back on the steer axle, it's really just lagniappe at that point. You'll have plenty of truck for the task. Be sure to post pictures of your adventures and I hope we run across each other on the road sometime!

    Hey Dave....how'd you ever guess.....Texas native currently in VA. I think initially I'm going to go without any change or mod's to the factory tow package and see how it goes. I have heard from others that by adding WD hitch or anti sway bars you do compete with the factory setup and can crate issues before you ever get started. I'm looking to head west as soon as the weather cooperates and go from there, possibly Oregon, Washington, Vancouver and last but not least Alaska. My goal is to fly fish as many rivers and waterways time allows. No calendar, timeline or $ concerns so this should be quite an adventure for me. Take care....Mike
