I bounced through a number of toys, two C5 Corvettes, a Mustang GT and this one far and away blows them away. Not because it handles better or is more powerful, but because you are in a pickup truck that can do what most sports cars can.
Towing is possible, but you are dealing with a short wheelbase, so the recommendation for a QC is good advice since you are pulling a somewhat heavy vehicle and trailer.
How much modding do you expect to do? Exhaust, CAI etc. is about the same as most sports cars.
Good advice buying a pre-modded vehicle, mine already had the Volant and the Borla cat back.
