I would never have hauled such a load if I were unexperienced with a clutch and for that vehicle. Starting up a few hills wasn't fun but it grabbed plenty and pulled fine. Flat land was no issue at all for first. These trucks are capable but I also would not have gone up much more in weight due to no trailer brakes.
