Install 4 10 gears or deeper. I would not use Juice or Edge for towingsolution here because engine strain aside, it adds transmission straintoo and that is not the strongest trany stock but it should hold upwell behind a non chipped engine. Chipping it will overload tranny. A4.10 should help a lot and if you tow in mountains a lot you mighteven consider a 4.56. Your engine is turbo charged but it still seessome power loss at high altitude and deeper gears would help a lothere. When you tow a big load with a automatic you should have 4.10anyway by default. Deep gears would help you all the way across theboard too, starting out and backing up as well and will likely improveMPG towing as well. Your truck has a AAM 11.5 rear axle the same as GMuses and aftermarket gears for it are widely avaible (GM has used itsince 2001 and Dodge since 2003) so you do not have to buy the gearsat a dealer and get skinned on them as they will likely be 700 or moreat dealer for rear axle and less than 300...

pulling HEAVY, now what?

does that apply to 5th wheel loads which combines pin weight and trailer weight? isnt the gcvwr on the '07s somewhere around 26000#?

Pal, with that little bow-tie of yours, you shouldn't be towing much more than an empty Radio Flyer, anyhow :)
