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.....

The biggest complaint I see with folks with high hp V8 and 8 speed trannies in F150/1500 size trucks and wimpy 3.08/3.21 gears is complaints of constant up and down shifting when towing some type of trailer. There are reasons the 3.92 geared 1500 Hemi/8 speed trannies carries a higher tow rating.
Will the truck pull that size trailer ?? sure.
P tires ???
The wifes 1500 has 17" P tires and works fine with a 10k car hauler carrying a blue cab'ed tractor 12' 2" tall on the trailer.
Pump those P tires to the max and make a short trip....then is the time to decide if you want/need a C or D LT tire. Your not going to like LT options in 20" tire sizes.
