Jimmy, your truck looks very close to mine. (I DO have the "factory" tow package with 3.73 gears and a transmission cooler).

I got the 150 exactly because I needed something to pull our 3600# trailer up over the high mountain passes in Colorado, where we like to go in the summer. I can tell you, it handles this task with ease. I pass every other RV and truck on the road. I have no trouble at all maintaining 65 mph (which is as fast as I like to go while towing) up any of those slopes.

I also have no trouble getting around someone on a 2-lane road while towing. The passing performance is very respectable.

I can't imagine you'll have any difficulty pulling sleds or a boat (unless the boat is one of those 6-tonners I saw up in Blue Mesa Lake last summer).
