Are the Ram 1500 rearends really this weak?
I have around 144,000 miles on my 2004 Hemi Ram 1500 Quad Cab. My family and I decided to take a road trip with our 20ft camper from Springfield Missouri to Pensacola Florida for a week....about 1600...

Not weak per say, but low RGAWR as are all of the lowest class TVs have
Next higher class TV will have a higher RGAWR, as will the next higher
than that
Example is that most half ton TV's has a RGAWR in the +4,000 lb range
Next higher class TV will have a RGAWR in the 6,000 lb range or higher
Next higher class TV will have a RGAWR in the 7,000 lb range or higher,
previous era had 1 ton TV's with a 6,000 RGAWR
Betcha your load on the TV's rear axle is higher than you think...or
maybe your rear axle had a problem/defect
