I'm getting ready to start RVing full time. I'm buying a Keystone Bullet, 30"@ 5,600 dry. What size of truck would comfortable tow it. I'm looking at Dodge 1500 or 2500 with the 5.7 Him.
Short answer, depends. Long answer, depends. Model year of truck, important How truck is geared, important Miles you plan on towing while FT, important Your experience towing and willingness to mod the truck suspensions, important Extra short answer, most all 5.7 Hemi half tons From the last 15 years will handle that trailer. Anything ‘14-up with the 8 speed and 3.92s will “pull” the same or better than any 2500 with a 5.7. Any 2500 will “handle” the trailer better.
Whatever you buy watch the payload. Ram's are notorious for having extremely light payload as the crew cab and 4 X 4 add a lot of weight. I'm guessing your 5,600# dry weight trailer will have a GVWR of around at least 7,000# and you will likely load to close to that.
If so you will have a proper tongue weight {13 percent} of 910# + another 100# for the weight distribution hitch which comes to 1000+# before you load anyone or any thing into the truck. A 1500 will do it depending on where you travel but it will need at least 1500# of payload and I have seen some Ram 1500's with less than 1,000.
Keep in mind that 30' of TT is a lot to ask of a half ton truck when the wind blows and/or in the mountains. Good luck.
You will never tow dry weight. Add the batteries, propane and all the goodies and you could be 7500#. Also the length. Be safe. That is my $0.02 worth... Get a 2500/250...
