i pull a 3 car wedge trailer that is 50ft long,ive towed 3 full size diesel trucks on mine from texas to pa,i have my truck tagged at 33,000 pounds and it pulls it with lil to no problem,my truck has 190,000 on it and still does the job,have had really minimal problems with it since ive owned it for the loads it hauls every week,my trucks a dually, but ill tell you what you can not beat these trucks,ive towed with powerstrokes of my friends and you will not beat a dodge for pulling,hook that trailer and go pass the chevys and fords on the hill and you will be as happy as you can be with your choices

What should the highest coolant temp be during extreme towing/load conditions? I have seen mine go just over the 200 mark on the gage before in deep sand and 95 degree heat. As soon as I backed out a little or switched to 4 low(and slowed down) the temp drops.
