So I am sitting under the awning reading this post and I look over at my 2014 Ram Longhorn I got a couple of weeks ago. It has a 29,000 lb tow rate not counting the truck and almost 5500 on the payload. I have towed with a 3/4 ton Ram ctd and a dually ram ctd before this one. All are 4x4 also. I don't worry I know I can tow it. You can never have too much truck.
So why didn't you get a 2014 5500 if you can't have too much truck?

All I can say is go drive a 3500 Longhorn with the max tow aka 4:10 and a 5500 and you will see the difference also look at the specs for towing. The 3500 will handle my MS38RSSA without any issue at a comfort level that is really sweet. This is my third Ram. My previous 2012 would have handled my fiver but this one will do it so much better. I am sure the 2015 will be great also so I will probably wait for the 2017's they will be even better then the 2015's and so it goes on.
