It's not always about the size.

Towed this bad boy about 250 miles not too long ago:
The trailer dry was 2250#, the truck I'm guessing was 4500-5klb plus the canopy, I should've had it weighed but in guessing conservatively I was pulling 7000 lb. I tell ya what, the truck pulled it very well, had more than enough power to climb Snoqualmie pass, as well as the "Vantage Hill" which is 10 miles of 4% grade, I held 55-60mph with some pedal to spare (not much). The trans temp while on the highway never went over 180* even while going over the passes!
I even averaged just over 9mpg! I should also add that it averaged 90-95* outside and I was always a cool 78* inside the truck
I will say though, that truck was a$$ heavy because I had it pulled as far forward as it would go, and hunkered down tight with straps, still only squatted the Expy by 1/2-1". Needless to say, it wagged all over the place and was the scariest tow I've ever done.
I am impressed with my truck regardless and look forward to what I'm able to tow in the future!

A couple more tows for me...
that is the same trailer as my other one, but my wheeling Jeep on it.
This was using the adjustable flip hitch that belongs to the troop. I've replaced it since then with a standard rise hitch and we reloaded the trailer. It rides nice and level now.

I would think keying on the ignition would have had it sitting perfectly level and even.
On a side note...someone has some painting to do this spring.

I could key on all day long and it wouldn't change the ride level....
Yeah.... I know I have to paint, the village has whined at me this year as it was. My house is about 3000 sq ft. That's alot of ladder time for a guy with crap knees.
