Best Design Trailer for Half-Ton
I have a Starcraft Autum Ridge, one slide trailer. It is a good trailer and may have to stay with it. I do not want to upgrade truck to 3/4 ton because of expense. Would like to find a 28 to 30 ft t...

Show me one person who has had their insurance canceled due to overweight. Show me one person who has had their warranty terminated because of weight. And I don't mean someone who hooked up to a semi truck trailer. I have seen half tons that I KNOW are overweight pulling fivers. Plenty of them on the road. And I'd be willing to bet they still have their insurance.
And yes, the OP is going to be limited by weight on his current truck. I have no personal experience with the ram, but do have experience with an f150 and a 30' TT. Over 8000 miles worth, to be exact.
Although I do have a Hensley Arrow now, most of those miles were with a Reese Dual Cam. Upgraded to the HA due to finding a smoking deal on one.
Is a 30' TT too big for a half ton? Not with the right hitch/receiver and proper setup.
My suggestion is to find ram owners pulling weight that you are looking at pulling and see how they feel about their setup.
One other thing - it will likely be a bit difficult to find a 30' TT with two slides. They are a bit on the rare side. Two slides will generally hit the 32' and up range. Which is a whole different ball game when it comes to pulling.
Your results may vary, good luck with your search. Study up, be informed, and then make the best decision you can make for your application.
