I feel like it's done really well with all the different trailers and I'm really happy I got the factory brake controller and self leveling suspension, this also has a built in engine brake which has kicked in even towing the smallest trailer I have. Which seems to really help with braking
Like it was said above, I'm more concerned with the braking then the power. Whether you get a 1500 or 2500 I would highly recommend you find one with those options if you can.

Never heard of an engine brake on a gas job. I have one on my Cummins and the Cat . Most gas engines when in tow mode just downshift to slow the truck and trailer.
