I just finished an 1100 mile trip with a 22 F250 Godzilla. I never ever felt like I didn't have enough power to get started or pass. My trailer is about 7000# but the bigger issue is the front profile. I flipped my axles for ground clearance so it is about 6" taller. Being an older trailer it is pretty flat faced. We dealt with some noticeable wind coming west on I40 from Williams, AZ to I 15. 15 south from Victorville to Cajon Pass was a straight 30 MPH headwind. That was pretty nasty and my lie-o-meter showed 6.6 mpg through that stretch. Along I40 diesel was $1 a gallon more than gas.
I just couldn't justify the diesel premium for my application.
