Re: towing question???
You are fine with what you have. I tow 7000 with a 99 1500 with the 318. I am a bit under powered. If you have an auto tran I highly recomend a tranny cooler or you will loose your tranny eventually. If you like the ride of the half ton you can stick ith it, I did, But it is alot easier on the truck if you had 2500, with hemi or cummins. I tow 7000 with my 1500 and I tow a 36ft 19000lb 5th wheel with a 2004 cummins high output. I get 12mpg with the cummins pulling either trailer. I get 9mpg pulling small trailer with the 318. I pull trailer about 20000 each year. I would also highly recomend using the Prodigy electric brake unit, It Is a DREAM. You can't even feel the braking and once you set it you never have to set it again IE:city to hwy driving. It is incredible. If you don't want to buy a new truck, you can make it with what you have, if you plan on a new trk, 2500 would be great, 3500 is way overkill.
