What does all this MEAN? TV help.
So, we bought a truck last year on a whim (Ram 1500), and then bought a rig. Didn't plan the 2 purchases out very well. Technically the 5er is within the specs of the truck....but we towed over I-70...

I don't expect to be flying up the hills, but I really felt the truck was struggling too much. We were doing maybe 30mph at 5000rpm in 2nd gear. I kept thinking I hope I don't stop or I will never get started again. Interestingly enough, I felt fine with the truck holding back the weight on the downhill side of the pass.
It is really a struggle to find the balance between a truck I will use to pull this rig 7-8 times a year, and a truck I run around town in. To answer the question about the gas RAM2500....There are some things I'm not super thrilled about with the RAM in general, so was thinking this is the opportunity to get away from those....."maybe"
LeonineThor, you need to women up and get a bigger truck. Overall dimensions will be the same but you will feel SO much more comfortable towing.
My wife wasnt a big fan of daily driving her 1 ton. She loves it now. Coming from someone who barely has enough truck to tow what he has, go big.
