I have the 4.7 as well. She does fine. I have the tow package on my truck which helps a lot.

So a couple of things added and that will be added to the truck recently.

First, I bought a 54 led amber and white flashing kit off of ebay. I have already installed those, 4 in the front windshield and 2 in the back. Figured they might come in handy for work or life related stuff. I'll get a pic and video soon.

Second, I bought a cheap version of the Oracle color change halos with a remote. Figured I'd try them and see how i liked them.

Third, I snagged a reese universal gooseneck hitch off of a truck at work. I'm going to put it in my truck for when I need it. The hitch is rated for up to 25,000 lbs. Just a tad above my weight limit but it'll be useful. We have several gooseneck trailers at work that I can pull. I probably can't overload the trailer but I can make it work.

Fourth, I have a trailer brake controller to put in the truck. I already have the 4 pin to 7 way adapter but I need to hook up the last three wires for the power, reverse, and electric brakes. I can move these bigger trailers but stopping is the only issue. I like the front end on my truck and plan to keep it.

Are theses for your headlights?

It's not about if it will pull the trailer, but more along the lines of the stress it'll put on your 1/2 ton suspension.

What controller did you get, was it plug n' play?

Please post your pics on the halos and your reviews. Been wanting to have color changing halo's in mine but haven't pull trigger yet.

Yes the halos are. I'll have to pull them apart again. Lol

Yeah I won't use the hitch everyday but if I need to I can.

It's a reese controller. I will just have to buy the adapter and it will plug in.

Yeah I will man. I'm excited about them. I'm hoping they work like I want them to.

Cool, I was going to say that if you didn't know about the OEM plug under the dash it's way easier than having to run wires everywhere.

Yeah I do. I still have to run a power wire and the brake wire from the front of the truck to the back but I've done that too many times to count already. Lol

Best pics I could get in the daytime. Pretty bright. They do all kinds of stuff. There is a little box controller that came with them. I kind of want to order more. Lol
