OP, there’s a thread on this exact thing basically, going right now. And dozens more like it. Plenty of reading and take what you read with a grain of salt.
Although if you are a newbie at towing, having more truck than you need is the super safe bet.
But selling a brand new now used truck just to trade up, when the truck you have is already pretty well suited for the task is also a consideration.
I’d tow that trailer with that Ram 1500 all day long. And not be worried about a single thing. But I wouldn’t turn down a HD pickup to pull it like “it wasn’t there” figuratively.
You’re 100% within all the ratings save for maybe payload which gets the payload police on this forum all triggered. But they don’t know why they feel that way so hard to place a qualitative objection.
Bottom line it’s How you feel towing that trailer.
