Max Tow owners… what are you towing?

Heading to the lumberyard for some siding material. My 18’ dove tail trailer. The second pic is hooked to the JT most days since retirement. 18’ Custom Weld jet boat, about 4k lbs full of fuel, and full cooler.

That's good, but me, not so much. Unfortunately for us, the slide out broke exactly 7 days after we bought it. Then after waiting on parts forever, the Service Department damaged multiple pieces, so then had to wait on those parts. Long story short, out of the first nine months that we owned it, it was at the dealer for 5 of those. Forest River extended did right, and extended our warranty, but I'm just leary of it. We still use it, though. Outside of that, I do like it, again, I'm just leary of ours.

Those of y’all with the Max Tow Package, what y’all towing?

Pulled my 1949 Jeep Truck on a 260 mile round trip to the Michigan Silver Lake State Park Sand Dunes. I blew reverse out of the transmission on the '49 when the engine mounts broke climbing
a Sand Mountain. The Gladiator pulled well. The bigger hills on the X-way worked the engine a little harder than I would have liked, but it did fine. I'm not going to pull anything this heavy any farther than that. I have an F-150 with the V-8 that I can use. The Gladiator is for pulling my fishing boat and utility trailer and just all-around fun. It is a pleasure to drive. I Love the 4.10 gears.
1949 truck is 3960lbs. 20' car trailer 2130lbs. 6090 total pulled lbs. Mopar Brake Controller installed in 12v dash outlet spot, that worked great.

Anyone have a Diesel with the Max Tow package and tow at elevation? 6-9,000 ft?

I’m wondering how a Diesel will pull a 20ft camper through the mountain with 40's, on 60/80 axles and 5.38 gears.

the diesel doesn't get max tow
I think the most towing diesel is rated at like 5000 lbs vs the 7600 max tow

What do I tow with mine. I've got a 16ft pontoon boat, 16ft Scamp Deluxe "that means wood interior" heavy built utility trailer with 4wheeler or building materials. Hauling wise in bed 800 lbs concrete in bags, a bunch of concrete blocks different times.
Other reason for Max-Tow 4:10 gears I knew I would be going with larger tires.
