I will be hauling this thing approximately 10 miles one way (20 round trip) daily in a relatively flat environment. I will go as fast as I can comfortably go but would like to do 55MPH. I am in St. Louis, MO and coming from just outside the city, where the trailer is stored, to the heart of the city on highways for 98% of the drive. Now, I hope to do some events around the area that could lead me to a more hilly environment, but for the lion's share of days, i will be making that same 10 mile commute on relatively flat roads.
how long will you be doing this? what are you pulling the trailer with now? like others have said stopping is the key. id prefer a late model one ton that has the power for the speeds you want to run, along with greater and better stopping power to do the job. id use the 270 for touring but thats just me. seems like a lot of time/money for what you are looking to gain. but then that all depends on the answer to my first question.
