Do I have enough goat?... I mean Ram......
As a preamble: I have a Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. I have the automatic 8 speed tranny... long story short... I'm rated at 8,150 towing, and 1,650 payload. It is what it is, and such shall it be.....

GoHorns: Thank you for posting this, it looks like we are in a very similar situation. I have a 2017 RAM 1500 HEMI with 9,830 towing capacity and 1,450 Payload capacity.
We are looking to buy a Imagine Trailer (like the quality and floor-plans) and we're trying to figure out how big we can go. We really like the 2950RL, but at 8,995 GVWR I'm afraid I'm pushing my limits.
Also, I see you're pulling the Imagine 2150RB, I suppose that's an easy load for our RAM?
We are planning to use this for extended 3-4 months trips. We are not "extreme-campers", meaning that cooking is limited, and we plan to spend a couple of days per week in a hotel/motel in between camping nights. - What's important to us is comfortable sleeping arrangements, USEFUL bathroom, and decent TV service.
Any input and recommendations would be very much appreciated. - Can we really match the trailers GVWR to the trucks Towing Capacity, or is there more to the math? Remember, we WILL cross the Rockies a few times and do not want to get stuck when we do.
Thanks, all the best, HAPPY TRAVELS
