Don't go changing your gears or anything until you solve your base problem. You're only creating worse problems.

The V-10 should have enough power to pull the hitch off of your trailer, even at 1500-1700 RPM. There is still something wrong wih your engine that you need to address.

Well, it sounds to me like it's time to take it to a shop and see what's up. Sounds like you have some serious problems that aren't going to be solved by the people here. You have tried everything, nothing worked, it's time to take it to a shop. Let 'em hook it up to a computer and check it out. I'd be all over the dealer, warranty or not. There's no way a V-10, even stock with the 3.73's should be that bad. You got some problems somewhere.

I agree with Ed Jr. 100% here.

You have some problems with your truck. You haven't gotten any closer to slving your problem. I strongly suggest taking it to the dealer and telling them it isn't making the power it should.
