It pulls fine, but you definitely know it's back there. The air suspension will level the ride once it's hooked up so take that into account when you hook it up. Make sure it's level after the suspension has had time to level it out. It's not the same as a long wheel base pickup, but it'll do for as far as you're going. You should be fine. Use your tow/haul button. If you have any hills to go up you'll spend the whole time in Second gear, but you'll get used to that. Sadly, it's not a diesel.

Another thing I've noticed, and anyone could disagree, is that the computer learns how your driving over distance. So if you don't use the tow/haul button, the computer actually learns how to shift for you. One thing about tow/haul tho, I think it makes it shift faster, so there's not as much lag between gears. This is good for the torque converter.

Have fun!
