1st camping trip went about 50 miles each way central/west coast Florida all flat roads except for the overpasses.
Truck is a 2017 1500 Bighorn hemi, 2 wd, 8 speed auto with 3.21 axle.
Trailer is a 29 ft overall, 600 LB tongue weight, 5800 lb unloaded trailer weight. Yes we added some things but not crazy as it was only 2 nights. Nothing much in the truck itself other than the two of us.
Max payload is 1404 and max towing is 8300 and I know I'm not near the top of either.
Equilizer WD hitch.
Coolant temp was hot. It hit 220 F a couple of times, seemed like it climbed there initially then calmed down a bit. Ranged from 198 to 220, spent most of the time in the low 200s to maybe 210.
Trans temp stayed under 200, oil temp maybe 210 +.
I was in tow/haul mode, never got above 62 mph but most of the trip was in the 45 to 55 mph range.
Thoughts?
