(Trick question!  )

3200 just plain feathers.  . I can pass up steep Hills. Under 50% of tow capacity. It's a Rockwood 1905
PS
I thought you might like this article on Slate:
What’s Heavier: 1 Pound of Feathers or 1 Pound of Lead? It’s More Complicated Than It Seems.

So while they raise an interesting point, they aren't really answering the actual question.

Cummins 6.7 - I originally had a 2011 Tundra Crewcab 5.7 which I loved but found "wanting" on the mountain passes. I like having the power "buffer" of the Cummins.

Looks like a wire or cord hanging behind trailer wheels? What's that?

Had to blow up my original pic to see what it was.
It's the propane line for fridge / stove.
I'll check it when we close the slide after camping this weekend.
TY!
