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.....

One thing I didn’t mention was that on the 2016 truck I replace the original tires with LT tires. In order to get a decent tread I had to go up one size which threw the speedometer off about 2 or 3 miles an hour at 65 miles an hour. Although the truck looked like it had plenty of clearance: these new tires were 1 inch larger in height and when you would cut the wheels all the way to one side there was a very small amount of rubbing. I do think this enhanced the stability when towing.
On my new 2017 I have not replaced the original tires as of yet but when I do I will consider strongly going back to an LT tire.
