got smoked by half ton pulling a horse trailer!

2005 psd stock 6.0 fx4 king ranch.

I was pulling a 7500 bl pull behind rv going about 65-70 pedal to the floor, and had a chevy 1500 pull up beside me with a 2 horse trailer maybe(3500-4000lbs) including horses.. He passed me like I was sitting still! WTF!!!

I had no more at 70-72 mph! What is the deal?

Do I need a chip?

Not that I want to race with a laod but would like to know I have the power there if I do need it..

I bet hes running it hard because at work we got a chevy 3500 gas that struggled to pull a bailer lol...he may have passed you, but your truck will last much longer than his lol

If this was with the 97 (being stock) I could see it, but not the 6.0. Somethings wrong man. 7k ain't much at all.
