Towing a cyclone 4100

Howdy y'all!!

I am contemplating purchasing a Cyclone 4100 toyhauler...have y'all (it's a Texas thing) seen this coach, boy is it sharp!! Im looking for advise/help. Anyrate, this coach isn't exactly a light one which brings me to my question. I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Megacab diesel dually with the 5.9, 6spd standard trans w/airbags and a B&W companion hitch. I can't find good info that says yay or nay to me pulling/towing it. Can find it for everything else but mine. Do I have enough truck? I've combed the forum and see some guys towing these coaches with a SRW 3/4 ton..:h...back to my question. Do I have the truck to pull this coach?

Thanks to anyone that can help!!

    What separates my 06 DRW 1 ton from a 2014 DRW 1 ton? I know both motors are more than capable of pulling the weight. My main concern is suspension and not having enough brakes to stop the load.


    New ones have a much higher tow rating. I do think yours will be fine, but the 5.9 will be working pretty hard. The 6.7 is a completely different animal when towing.

    06 Dodge is a great truck, but thats a heavy TH.
    Upgrade to a 14 Ram DRW with aisin trans and 4:10s and never look back. rated to tow nearly 30k lbs.

    Yes your truck will do fine. I tow my 18k fuzion 404 with my 13 Ram 2500 with ease.


    Yes I see that he has the Mega Dually

    But he only has a 10,500 GVWR and less than 2600# of max payload (actual will be less after subtracting passengers, cargo and hitch weights)

    You tow an 18K with your 2013 2500.........and haven't been across the scales right?
    Your GVWR is only 10,000# and max of 2600# payload.
    Overweight with that 18K Fusion

    So will be OP with his dually mega cab

    IF truck ratings mean anything.
