As long as you are within your weight limits go for it. I pull a Chevy 2500 Crew Cab Long Bed Duramax behind mine. You won't get a land speed record, but on the hills in California I am not the slowest, nor am I the fastest on long climbs. Just take your time, keep an eye on your mirrors, especially in stop and go traffic.
What type of setup are you using to pull your truck?
Like the OP, I recently acquired a class A diesel and would like to pull my Ram 3500 Crew Cab SB instead of having to buy another vehicle for a toad. I'm only going to use it maybe 3 or 4 times per year.
Thanks
I am using a Blue Ox Aventa LX tow bar and Blue Ox base plate. For brakes I stayed away from the surge brakes as they are rated for a maximum 7,500 lbs. My supplemental brake is a RoadMaster Even Brake, which I picked up used for a few hundred bucks. I went with diodes for the lights. I have towed it for around 10K, and no issues.
The baseplate will come with 10K safety cables for the coach to truck, and baseplate to truck frame. I installed the emergency breakaway cable as a last resort and hope it never gets used.
