Hello, looking at one, I have a 98 1500 2WL 5.9, towing 3200lb boat and trl loaded and 4 people. It does a great job. Really liking the rear doors on the 04, for two of the people, the lab and the golden. What could I expect in performance loss?

Thanks for any feedback.

I suspect a good bit depending on the road. With that weight about 25%-40% as well as fuel mileage. Good luck
