Travel Trailer Shopping for a 2001 v10 4x4

[KCAutosound]

Hey guys my wife and I are shopping for a travel trailer and we have come across a 2006 Wildwood 42' trailer. I have a 2001 stock V10 Excursion Limited 4x4. Here are the stats of the trailer and I was wondering if I could get some input of some Ex owners that have pulled and if I am getting over my head with this or if I'll be fine.

This won't help much, but some people tow much heavier with no problem, some can't tow 5000# without problems. Suspensions seems ot inconsistant between some but how it's equipped makes a big difference too. You'd be surprised at the differences from year to year. If it's one of the years without a rear anti-sway bar, that is a must for starters.

Personally I'd think the V10 would be OK but you have to look at that gears it has. I'd prefer a diesel myself, but I'm biased.
