Thanks for all the good info guys.
When I bought this 5th wheel at the RV show, they had a big pitch about it being the most you could pull with a half ton truck. The GVWR is 10,300 lbs. When I look in my truck's User Guide on page 136 it states the "Max Towing capacity is 10,350 lbs. I guess I just assumed I was good, understanding that I was at the limit.
For now, I love the truck and spending $2500 to change out the gears is not a bad investment for the additional torque. We are heading back to TX today and I'll take it slow and be patient. If I get around to changing the gears, I'll update this link with my costs and results.
Thanks again everyone.
