New Cougar 337fls

Been lurking around for a while and learning alot. The wife and I bought our first travel trailer last year. It is a coleman 27rl and it's great and we love it and use it all the time. We recently found out a used never sleeper in cougar 5th wheel and we would love to take the opportunity to upgrade. I think I'm good on all accounts to but would like to double check with the experts. Empty weight of the 5th wheel is 9990. Max gvwr is 12500. Tow vehicle is 2016 ram 2500 with 6.4 hemi and 4.10 gears tow rating of the truck is 15,500 and 3000 lb payload capacity. What is yalls thoughts on this setup?
  • Hook it up and weight it on a cat scale. I tow mine with a F350 CC DRW
  • Thanks! Never towed anything this large and just kinda nervous and want everything to be safe
  • I don't see any problem with that setup. Truck should tow it, rear axle rating, tire max rating should carry it. Like always, would some other TV work better? Sure, but not needed in this case.
