I've towed my camper approximately 3300lb loaded and some coolers in the truck. Towed down some winy hilly back roads about 30 miles. The truck handled well. Seems to have the power to move. No issue pulling 55-60. Was definitely shifting more but to be expected with the load. Brake controller definitely helps.

Did you get the lower option tow package? I’m looking at campers to purchase what model did you go with? Also what brake controller?

There is only one tow option for the manual which includes the HD cooling, 2" receiver, 240 amp alternator, and hitch zoom.

I have a Sport S. As for the brake controller for the towing I do I went with a Reese Pilot. A time delay controller. I wanted the flexibility to stuff it up under the dash out of sight and not have to worry about orientation. Though where I did mount it a progressive would probably be fine too. Just popped the panel off just below the steering wheel and zip tied it to the device in the center. I wasn't ready to drill holes in my truck yet. It's out of sight and out of mind and in the need the panel can be easily removed to make and adjustment ( before driving away).
