You will love the truck. They are quite the towing beast. My only complaint is fuel mileage. My 2006 got around 13 mpg towing our old Rockwood fifth wheel and the 2011 would only do around 11 with the same rig. Highway towing with the Fuzion 315 results in 8.5 to 9 mpg. The truck does great empty (17 mpg average) but it sure loves the fuel when it tows. I will say that the benefit of all that fuel being burned is 100% overdrive normal highway towing with no shifting and that is with a high profile 15,000 lb trailer in tow. Mountain passes require 4th gear and result in 60-65 mph at the peak. These trucks have come a long way!
