The torque of the tuned 4.4L with huge brakes makes it a nice experience. Proper tongue weight and WDH is key.

Now of course if I'm going to be pulling 10k, I'd go for the HD.

Hey HydroStream6 I know it's an old post but your setup seems to be the best example of a heavier load with a WDH. How is it working for you? No issues with the WDH?

Also I believe you can go slightly over the recommended tongue weight when you use weight distribution. Do you think a 694 lb tongue weight would be doable?
