I just think it's irresponsible to tell someone who is new to hauling, and new to RVing in general, that they should have no issues pulling their 8,000lb trailer no problem with their 1/2 ton truck, and if they are, then CLEARLY something is wrong. That's great if you're OK doing it, but not everyone is.
8000 lb. This TT just keeps getting bigger. But yeah, as long as the truck is equipped to do it. shouldn't be a problem. With his truck, He will be 2500lb under the towing capacity with a 8k TT.
Having made my living driving, and seen RV of all kinds, some right and some wrong, some we had to wait until it was under control to pass, I can promise you. That IF I thought for a second that towing that TT with that truck would be overly dangerous. I would say so. I don't believe it is. It is well within capacities. You may not like the rating Ram put on it. But they are the ones that know what the truck is capable of.
Me I think it is irresponsible to tell a person he needs a 1 ton to tow a TT that is in his current truck capacities
