To help the OP, I tow a 25 ft TT, 28 ft w/ tounge, weights about 7200lbs. I have ‘17 6.2 8 speed and love it! A few point to keep in mind: 1) As already pointed out payload is key. It includes a driver and not much else. What has not been mentioned is payload is either/or you have it in the hitch or you put it in the truck/bed. Can’t have both, especially for larger TT. 2) pack you trailer not your truck. Pack wisely, put heavy item over the TT axels, try and balance it out front to back. You want 10-15% tounge weight but not to much, see 1) about payload 3) Depending on the type of camping you do the TT onboard fresh water, propane and battery will likely be in front of the TT axels. Never made sense to me to burn gas to haul water to a location that has in ample supply. As already noted MPGs are 8-10 depending on terrain. 4) TT are not aerodynamic, but that does not limit what you can tow. If it did the owners manual would say so, y limiting your tow weight by ‘frontal square footage’. Owned a Jeep Liberty and the owners manual specifically said not to trailers that had a certain frontal sq. Footage, like a TT. 5) Get a good WD hitch with sway control, take the t8mevtomset it up correctly and understand how it works. Do not trust a RV or dealer technician. 6) Speed kills, but so does going more than 5 MPH slower than flow of traffic. Try and go to the posted speed sign up to 70. I have had more issues from stupid people passing me. The slower you go relative to traffic, the more people are passing you, the more problems you will have. Lastly, you can do this, your truck can do this!

I have a ‘17 with iPhone 7. I have had similar issues, I have found that if I have Apple maps open prior to connecting it has trouble. You can also tap on the projection icon and get it to go. Cables need to be Apple or high quality ones, but I have burned through several where it not only will not connect but it won’t charge. Another top is anyone heard up and upgrade or hack that would allow for wireless CarPlay? That would be worth some $$

I’d pay $$ for something like that, no reason you can’t have a customizable screen with favorites. I’d really like to see an update to allow wireless carplay.
