I tow a very large pop up camper with mine (2003 SXT 3.9L 5spd bone stock). It weighs about 3000 lb loaded. I usually have another 500 - 800 lbs in the bed. It can be a little sluggish on steep grades, otherwise no problems. Be careful with breaking distance if the trailer does not have breaks.

Good luck!

I forgot to mention, I have a class IV hitch on my truck, and I have a sway control arm for the camper. It is like a shock absorber that goes from the hitch receiver to the trailer boom. The sway control keeps it very straight if adjusted right. If you use a sway controller on yours, be sure to only use it on the highway. You will bend the arm if you make any sharp turns with it hooked up.
