Buying EC1160 - having weight anxiety ...
I know, I know, not another "I'm intentionally overloading my truck - tell me it's OK!" thread, but yeah, that's where I'm going ... sorry! OK, that being said, I'm getting ready to pull the trigge...

The Op's truck will handle it without any real problems, I put over 20,000 miles on my truck with a 1160 on the 2003. The 2012 does carry the extra weight better than the 03. That 1160 should weigh about 4300 lbs, and will put any pre 2011 3500 DW truck over it's rated capacity. I would just have it weighed before I bought it if you don't trust the weight as listed on the camper, but eagle cap is a very good company I'd bet it's very close.
Excellent! That makes me feel better about it - I'm perfectly happy with 4300#'s in the bed, in fact as I recall my S&S was near that when wet and it handled like a dream.
