I just got a 2004 1500 4x4 slt as well for towing my boat and Jeep. The day I bought the truck I towed the boat (21' cuddy with a v8 i/o) for 86 miles and it towed like the boat wasn't even there. I haven't towed the Jeep yet but I've towed it's trailer, a 16' dovetail rated at 7k, loaded with furniture and it tows like a dream. Definitely better than the previous tow vehicle which was a v6 Ford Explorer.

actually it only costs 180 bucks round trip for 650 miles, but goin up hills you can really see the geage move. Way better considering coming from a 91 chevy suburban with the 350

Havasu is a blast, as long as you don't drink too much!
