Thinking About This 5th Wheel
We have been looking at getting a 5th wheel, a Solitude 300GK. Our 2015 Ram 2500 4x4 SRW diesel is rated a towing 15,500 pounds. Wondering how well our truck would be able to handle this 5th wheel? Wi...

Hasn't it been well established that the only difference between a 2500 and 3500 is the rear suspension? In the case of the Ram in question the coils are a limiting factor but with a set of airbags isn't the truck the exact same machine as a 3500? Same brakes, frame, engine, gears, etc, etc.
As an aside, that looks like a quality 5th wheel. I'm running a 36' Keystone Hideout with a dry weight of 9040#. Almost laughable.... I'm wondering what they left out of mine :) Being a working guy with small kids I really only get out a couple dozen nights a year at best so the cheap build is okay for the most part. I look forward to getting into a quality unit someday when I have more time to travel.
