Well I'm gonna fill up today and see what it got. I'm pretty sure it was in the 10 area with 16k behind it. It did tow much better than I expected.

I think I was more impressed with the handling. But that's all due to the tire and wheel combo not the truck. That bumper pull is the one that I use most of the time and it puts a pretty decent load on the truck. The 35 12.5/20 toyo mt's had some rear sway but the new tire and wheel combo is much better and has little to no rear movement.

Oh and I don't waste the money in fuel pulling that gooseneck to most pulls. Especially when I don't plan on taking a side by side. The trailer shown is a 22' 14k# full hyd tilt deck which makes it awesome to haul trucks on. I've hauled an f550 dump truck on it a 4020 and other various dead vehicles. It's like a roll back, the bed tips back and I can winch them on and tilt the bed back down.

Overall I'm a little more impressed with the truck. Mileage still sucks.

So how did the turbo and the transmission behave with a load behind it? Did it spool up much better? Was the transmission kicking down a lot more on hills?

How was the exhaust brake? Had a hard time getting it to work when I test drove a 2015.

Truck looks awesome btw!
