We are full-time rver's for over 3 year's and we own a 3/4 ton Ram with the Cummins and have no problem towing our 38ft 5 wheel. Everyone wants a 40 footer or bigger and that's why you would need a 1ton. We have towed so far over 15,000 miles and have had no issues with our setup.
I just can’t make the math work on a 5th wheel of that size. Even using 20% of the 5th wheels GVWR for the hitch weight consumes nearly 100% of the payload. I guess it becomes a matter of believing/knowing the vehicle can handle it versus being within specs?
