I have to agree with Steve. I have had numerous trucks over the years and the 2004 F250 is three or four times more truck than the 1970 F250. My first 5th wheel was 25' and weighed about 7,000Lbs. I had a 1996 Chev 1500 and it would pull the trailer ok. The 350 engine was a little weak on the steep grades and the gas milages was terrible, but with airbags I could get where I wanted to go. I bought the 04 F250 and it pulled that trailer up the steepest hills at 65 miles per hour and still had more to give. Hardly knew the trailer was back there. So we bought the 3280RL this spring and I was concerned the F250 wasn't going to be enough truck. Boy was I wrong. You know you are pulling something and now I can get 55 to 60 mph on those same hills with the same milage. The trailer pushes a little more on the down hill side but the truck can handle this trailer without a doubt and very safely. Its the driver that has to realize he is towing 6 tons behind him and needs to think farther ahead.
