The largest trailer I've pulled with my truck is a 25' Grady White boat and trailer combo. No campers here.

A 34 foot travel trailer at about 8,000 LBS. No problems just a little slower up the steep hills.

Is your truck stock or do you use a programmer to tow with. I am thinking about a larger travel trailer around 34 ft weighing around 8500 lbs and was wondering how the truck pulls.

There are some people on this site that are pulling 25' toy haulers with an F150. I don't know weather they are pulling them up mountains or not, but they are doing it.... Click on the link below.

My truck pulls my Fleetwood Wilderness fine and is well within the 8800# tow rating. It works harder up hills, but no more than most mid-sized gas motors do. The good thing about the 5.4 is the flat torq curve, good for hauling. I was driving an '08 Silverado last week (rental vehicle) and it had a 5.3. It had little torq down low,but opened up like a rocket at 4000 rpm's and up. Not my idea of a truck motor. The 5.4 has plenty of power off the line, good for getting a trailer taking off.
