Old-Biscuit has it right. You will most likely be over your rear tires carrying capacity.
A 16K 5er and yours will easily get there will have a minimum 20% 3,200# pin and easily up to 25% 4,000#.
So now you have a choice of blindly towing it like most will do or installing a set of much higher load range "E" tires from a new RAM or 19.5 tires and wheels or better yet get a truck that the new RV is within it's ratings.
Of course all JMHO!

Your going to be over on your RAWR IMO. Start shopping for tires with a higher ratings. 19.5 will get you within your trailers pin weight.
Can younTell,me what I need for tires...obviously the place we bought them from did not know what we needed....told us they were pretty much the best ....seems everyone who told us we had plenty of truck ect were not really aware of how things are calculated including Us.
Someone on here can fill in the blanks for me but look for a set of 13 and newer 18 or 20"3500 tires and wheels. They will fit your lug pattern and will look good and give you a lot more capacity. Look on Craig's list and find a set then sell your tires and wheels.
