It handles good at higher speeds of up to 60 mph and our 98 chev 1/2 ton with a 5.7 had no problem with it. There are a lot of 1/2 ton trucks pulling travel trailers grossing 6 or 8000. However your machine probably weighs at least 1000 more than ours, if you had a trailer rated for 10000 and used a weight distributing hitch I don't think there would be any problem unless you are in hilly country where you would run out of power. Our travel trailer grosses about 5500 and the 98 chev did fine with it but now we have a 3/4 ton chev with the 6.0 and it is a much better tow vehicle on hills. You will need brakes and your d.o.t. will tell you how many axles have to have them. Having the right hitch and setting it up right makes a big difference. adding a sway bar to the hitch will take out any wiggle also. The people on the Open Roads forum will give you all kinds of opinions on this.</p></blockquote><p></p>
