4x4Is your rig a 4x4 or 2x4?

Towed this setup around 1600 miles from Oklahoma City to Crested Butte Colorado. Averaged just under 8mpg. Trailer in a 28x8.5' enclosed with 2x 7000lb axles, and the weight was just under 9000lbs. Truck was able to run the speed limit which was 70-75 most of the time (my trailer tires are rated for higher speeds than that as I know that is a concern on this forum). On the slow, twisty mountain passes it has to run in 1st gear for about 5 miles at 35mph. It just didn't have enough power to accelerate from 1-2nd gear on a grade that steep. I have installed Airlift 1000 bag in my coils and the trailer is loaded properly. The truck handled the weight very very well. I was impressed with the performance (for it only being a 1/2ton). I do not have a WDH either and quite honestly don't plan on getting one after seeing how well this trailer pulled on a long distance trip where we experienced cross winds, head winds, tail winds, etc.
Nice. I wanna get a travel trailer, >20', but have a 2x4 :/. Shouldn't be a problem, right?

4x4 doesn't improve towing. Unless you're talking about obvious things like snow
You have the 6 spd or 8? Doing the math, you would have been running redline in 1st gear @ 35 mph with the 8 speed. A bit much for 5 miles but the Hemi is pretty durable. Just curious
