Just pulled my R-Pod

All highway, about 50 miles to the RV shop for some maintenance. On 6th almost all the way, dropping to 5th only about three times going up hills. About 2000 RPM at 70 MPH. I was pulling with a Jeep Liberty but got tired of the white knuckle rides so we upgraded.
The little trailer only weighs about 4k so it got SCHOOLED by the big truck today!

Your new truck can easily pull 3 of those. Your new F-250 is just showing that trailer who the boss. LOL
