Sorry Big Dee -- gotta say this. I've pitched in often enough that I'm sure gadgetat has seen the reminders -- It's not about tow capacity (9000# -- Wow!). The tow vehicle GVWR of the Titan is modest. Heck, GVWR doesn't become limitless until you go up to 1-ton. You've got to calculate what you're putting in the truck and then add the tow weight. Sorry to say a Hensley doesn't leave much leeway for gas. I don't believe many folks with any tow vehicle want to consistently tow above GVWR.
That being said, my Titan is a very comfortable strong towing machine. It doesn't feel like it would have any problem towing right up to the 9000# limits. I have some qualms and practical experience about the drive train (smaller diameter rear end + some surprise under what conditions the tranny temp gauge starts to redline). I still feel good about the Titan for an older (read: lighter) trailer. Gadgetat, the southeast US is mighty far from big mountains but stay the heck off back roads in West Virginny...
Enjoy!
