Default is this a good match

I have a 1999 Ford F150 4WD with a 5.4ltr engine. I am looking at a 1989 TM28. Is this a good match of trailer and truck?

YES, good match. Go anywhere, high or low.

Great match. What gears are in the rear end?

Is this a good match too? 2002 Chevey Tahoe w/5.3 liter v-8 & a TM 3124KS? Will it do flat and mountains?

99.8% YES. The shorter wheel base may require a WD hitch to smooth things out a little. Also remember that SUVs are built mostly for town folk. PUs mostly ship with slightly lower rearends (those silly automakers still think of them as farm trucks). You might also consider a transmission and oil cooler for mt. driving.

1/2 ton pickups are more than adequate for TM's. The 4 wheel dr can be real handy too, especially in wilderness camping. I tow a 3023 with a 1500 Dodge Ram 4x4 with no problems. Only issue is the frame height of pickup is hard to match to TM's low frame profile.
