New trucks have high ratings, however they are quite a bit heavier also.
OP, a year ago we sold our 2001.5 RAM 2500 4x4 Std cab. It had the camper option along with the optional LT25/75R16E tires. 2001.5 is the best year for the 24V RAM. 4 wheel disc brakes(introduced in .5 release), Center Axle Disconnect (discontinued on 2002's) on the front axle. It was a very capable truck. We towed a 29' 5th wheel and it did very well. Was over GVWR but under the rear GAWR.
