I have a 3000lb tent trailer that we've taken to Idaho a few times. Have'nt gone to 11,000 but have been to around 7000. I did'nt have any problems at all, even with the cruise control on. Could hardly tell I was towing something, she just hummed right on down the road. Remember the RL was designed around the tow package and as long as you don't go over 5000 you should'nt have any trouble.
