It tows great. It has the 5.3. So far I towed a 6000 pound trailer of concrete, but that was only a 10 mile pull. And then I towed the jeep, I'm guessing the jeep and trailer weigh prolly 4500 pounds and I pulled it 40 miles through the mountains (started at 3600 ft elevation ended at just above sea level). There were lots of up and downs with about 8% downgrade and 6% upgrade and it did great. I don't have trailer brake setup so I took it real easy on the downhills and never even smelled brakes. Then there was the 6% uphill that is about a half mile long and I held 55MPH all the way up. It pulled nice and straigh, never swayed. Overall I was real happy with it.
