first, thanks so much for the information and posts.

I checked with the dealer i bought my ram 1500 from, we cant financially move to any other truck at the moment, so we are stuck with it.

So we found a trailer that weighs much less, its a flagstaff 29bhsd with dry weight of 7500 pounds. The dealer's technician said the current truck will pull it. the tongue weight seems to be in specs so i think we are good on this one.

Once you load it up you’ll be pushing 9k and 1000lbs tongue weight. Still too much.

You still haven’t answered important questions for us to help you better. What is your truck’s payload on the door sticker? How much weight will you carry in the truck (all people, stuff in the bed etc?

I think your ratings are off too. The highest listed eco diesel tow rating is 9210lbs and that’s a regular cab 2x4 truck. I’m going to assume since you are looking at bunkhouse trailers that you probably have a crew cab. If that’s the case your rating is between 7500 and 8500lbs depending on which gearing you have and if its 2x4 or 4x4. Payload is probably only around 1400lbs, likely less. With that trailer tongue weight you’d have less than 400lbs left for people and stuff in the truck before overloading.
