I wouldn’t be too worried. Your trailer might have 2000 lbs of pin weight, but with a 6.2 L you probably have over 3000 lbs of payload. My diesel only has 2100 lbs, so you’d have far more than that. Enjoy the summer camping season.

I have pretty much the same truck that you do and I'm considering buying the Grand Design 278BH just like yours. Mine truck a 2017 but has the 6.2 gasoline engine like yours. Mine has a 3.73 rear end. Do you know if yours is 3.73 or the 4.10 that is optional? Also, have you pulled your 5th wheel over any mountain passes? How does it pull when going up something like a 6% grade? Thanks in advance.

My truck also has a 3.73 rear end , I have no issues or complaints with that gearing while pulling my 278BH . The steepest hill I pulled so far has been NY Rt 17 up Wurtsboro , I think that is a 5 or 6 % grade (4 mile climb) , the truck will down shift to 4th up that hill but I can do it at 55 mph (probably could go faster but why). The engine will work a bit and get into its best torque band going uphill pulling the 278BH , but I have never felt under powered or over loaded . I think you will be pleased with the performance . Good luck with your purchase .

Thanks for your detailed reply. This is really good info for me considering I have the exact same truck/engine/rear end setup as you, and am looking really hard at buying the 278BH.
