My truck cuts out when towing - most often on the highway and has done this with different trailers/weights and usually restarts right away. Never does this w/o trailer. No error codes on my reader. Any ideas?

I would suspect fuel pump
hook a fuel gauge to it and check fuel pressure and do a volume test too
