    I like it, after using it every other weekend this summer. I find that the bed does need a upgrade, I have a air bed under the mattress. I like that the bed is up front and that the bathroom is in the middle. This thing tows like a champ. I have had it on dirt roads with no problem I do wish it had a double axle and only time will tell if it will hold up because I am hard on my toys. I have mirror extensions but I don't use them because I have no problem seeing around the trailer but like all trailers if you want to see what is in the rear you will need to get a camera. I use dual propane tanks and battery's. I do keep a generator but use it rarely. I new just what I needed and got just what I needed. It is just right for me.

    Hauled a co-worker's car home for him (broken brake line). Heaviest load I've hauled on the trailer so far. Handled great!

    I'm still convinced these trucks are far more capable in the towing department than people give them credit for. Airbags or better springs in the back, and it will happily pull all the way to the rated towing +payload capacity and not break a sweat.

    Did some trailer crawling in 4LO. Straddled a few large ruts and did fine. I assume around 5000 pounds with water and all of our crap

    Honestly, I've never seen it get that hot, the most I've gotten it to was 220, on a 90* day up a grade, but I also stopped at the rest center halfway up to check the trailer and let everything cool off for the last half.

    I don't know about "happily", but it'll manage! I wouldn't mind the supercharger for help with the steep hills and mountains. Maybe someone can send me one!
