[QUOTE="cage1993, post: 187585, member: 2865"] I towed a 30' travel trailer from TX to WY and back with the 5.4 I just traded in. Even that engine has plenty of power to pull the 8K rig, much less the 6.2. The issue is the weight of the truck and the brakes. Both my 5.4 and the 6.2 I got are Scabs, so they really lack the weight to deal with the crosswinds you catch from TX > OK > KS > CO > WY. The wind catches the trailer and pulls the rear end of the truck side to side. Easy to correct if your used to it, but it does get annoying. Brakes aren't great on these trucks anyway, so if you have much weight at all be sure the trailer has brakes. Back end will also sag under very little weight without a weight distribution system.
