weight question
I have a 2011 dodge 1500 quad cab with a 5.7 v-8 hemi set up with a tow package. It is rated to tow 10,050. I'm looking at a 2007 Keystone Copper Canyon 293 sls rated at just at bit over 9000lbs. dry....

Weight Police,
Allthough I think you are right this time, you made a lot of assumption that have not been valid for years. Not only is the 1/2.. 3//4 and 1 ton meaninglless. 150/1500 etc are misleading.
I have a 1500 with a payload rating of 2,090 pounds and over 3,000 pounds of capacity on the OEM tires and axle. I can easilly pull/haul the subject 5er.
We really need details before giving absolute advice.
They do show a dry hitch weight of 1016 lbs which figures to 12% of empty weight. If that follows to the loaded weight then the hitch has 1341. That could be do-able.
12% just flies in the face of all I've ever heard about a comfortable hitch weight for a fer.
