Looking to tow 8000 lb trailer with a Hemi

I am considering an 8000 lb TT (loaded weight) that I would like to pull with a 3/4 Ram with a 5.7 Hemi. I have WD and sway control on both sides. Anyone have a similar set up and do you tow okay with it.

  • I tow about 8500 pounds with a half ton ram and while the engine is fantastic the half ton suspension is taxed

  • Should work if the truck ratings are ok. We towed a 5000# Outback from MD to FL. The ram has the 4.7 v8. Although within the truck ratings all I can say is we got away with it.
    Truck is much happier with our 3680# camper.
