I know have a 9200lb towing capacity and a 145" wheel base. The only down side (or upside if your my wife) is we now upgraded the trailer we bought a 24ft triple hybrid with a slide. This unit is 4300 lbs dry and 6555 loaded and is a tandem trailer. We did keep the 4 point sway control Weight distributing hitch though. Thanks everyone for your input I do appreciate the sound advice.

this sounds so familiar! we started with a 2005 Liberty and a small pop up. Upgraded to a small hybrid travel trailer but soon discovered we struggled way too much at highway speed. That little 6 just can't handle all the front wall drag on the interstates. So we upgraded to a Ram 1500 with the 5.7l Hemi. Now that pulled the hybrid like it wasn't there, but of course if you have a bigger truck with more towing capacity you need a bigger trailer, right? That led us to a full blow travel trailer that came in under 5000 lbs and even with our gear we still had plenty of towing capacity.
