I had a 31' class C with the V10. I had a 20' enclosed trailer with the desert toys in it. Pretty sure I was close to the weight you are talking about and it towed it without problems. Going up the grade from El centro to San Diego I would maintain 50-55 MPH. I did have trailer brakes, so that made the stopping easier. Will the toon trailer have brakes?

the v-10 will tow the toon with ease...I've towed 10 k with those class c's... the best upgrade will be the 5 star tune and the sumo' springs...most come with a 5k hitch that can e modified to a 10k easy...but, I see people towing way over 5k with the same hitch,... I own a fab/ muffler shop so I always up grade the hitch

Carolynandbob, yes brakes & dual axle trailer.
2FF its the E350, still on the fence if I need an RV or just a full size pickup. some of the trucks & some of the RV's are pretty close in price. were really not familiar with the RV lifestyle. we mainly stay at Best Western.
