[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 363038, member: 412"] I'm not arguing, nor discounting what you say when I ask: What does "struggling" mean to you? With that kind of load behind any gas motor pickup I'd expect to lock out Overdrive like you could on an '03 on the end of the gear-selector stalk, even if you've got 3:73's, the lowest gears they offered in a 1/2Tn F150 of that vintage. So do you mean it shifts from 3rd down to 2nd sometimes? Can't maintain a certain speed? Or does your camper push your tow vehicle around? I kind of have the same questions for the folks who are in what I consider the opposite camp, the one's who claim: "You don't even know it's back there." When towing this or that behind a given vehicle. Cripes, I can tell when I've got an empty AL snowmobile trailer behind a 3/4tn Diesel. It doesn't weigh much but the truck drives/rides starts/stops significantly different. I certainly don't strain anything towing my boat with the same pickup, but, I can sure as heck tell it's there, again, it rides/drives/starts/stops completely different. [/QUOTE]
