I've had this truck since I was senior in high school when my wife and I started dating. We are not buying another truck truck to pull this camper. Are there any mods that you would suggest to make it easier. Your comments are very welcome and appreciated

While I'm sure your truck with the 305 would tow a 14,000 pound trailer, I wouldn't recommend it. If you could always stay on flat ground (hard to do in Colorado!) you could probably get away with it most of the time. Personally, I wouldn't even think of towing a trailer that heavy in the mountains without at least upgrading to disc brakes in the front, a power booster, and dual brake circuits. Just be prepared to go REALLY slow up the hills!
