14600 miles on it I picked it up the 1st day of May and on the 9th of june I loaded a 10.5 foot Northstar truck camper on it that weighs 3000 lbs. I put a torque lift hitch on it that had a 123lb stinger that hooked to a weight distribution hitch that was hooked to a 20 ft utility trailer with a 1946 wdx loaded on it that truck weighs 6200lbs empty and a bed full of stuff I drove the truck 4000+ miles on vacation starting in Tex going to Iowa going to Hoople North Dakota heading cross the state to the northern badlands amd south to see the southern badlands into sidney nebraska and ended up in tyro kansas headed home this combination was untested the camper was bought in april and with the weight of everything it was 20000# and it pulled flawless for the whole journey even after i was struck by a large Deer and and continued for the rest of the trip and got 12mpg doing it.
