That happened pulling a 9000 lb RV, and their new trailer weighs 12,000 and they haven't had any problems. Also, it once blew a tire in the rear and when it came unwrapped it tore the fender all up, but that was repaired and came out fine. I can't think of any other mechanical issues, but if there were any they will tell me, and probably have the paperwork from it too. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it another round of maintenance and replace all the usual wear items and fluid, but you could probably do all that for like $250.

Big issues aren't a big deal to me if they were handled properly by competant people. Hearing the tranny's been replaced is good. I was even hoping that the motor had been rebuilt recently or something so I won't have to do it.
It's the people that say, "we've never had any issues ever, it runs great, except for the smoke that it sometime blows, but we don't think that's a big deal" that concern me.
