We have a similar truck set-up, but my trailer (240BH) is shorter and lighter. I am at my maximum comfort level with my trailer, and based on over 6,500 towing miles over the past year, I wouldn’t be towing your trailer with this truck. I started with 600/800lb. bars and didn’t like the feel, so I upped the bars to the 1,000/1,200 lb. bars and have been happy.

Just remember, the truck’s tow rating may be adequate (I have power to spare under all conditions) but the max tow rating is based on a flat trailer loaded with strategically placed weights under ideal test conditions. Once you add a high trailer with a large frontal area and a long side profile, you just might find that you have more trailer than your truck can handle. Unfortunately, the same dealer who screws up a simple hitch installation is often the same one who told you “of course you can tow that, you won’t even know it’s back there”.
