This has really helped, it seems that all three makes have quite a good reputation and capable of pulling 8500 lb dry weight 5th wheel.
I am curious though, almost all show the 2500HD in their profile rather than a 1 ton. I was also told that in USA this is because you do not have to go through the commercial scales. Could someone confirm if this is the reason please, or is there something else?
In Canada, it's almost all 1 Ton's because they are looked at as commercial vehicles and sidestep the 3% extra luxury tax, where as the 2500HD' a 3% extra tax for nothing is mandatory!
comments?
If you get a Ram 3500 Single rear wheel (SRW), you forego the coil spring rear suspension for the leaf spring set up. The 2500s coil springs are very heavy duty, robust, and give a much better ride than leafs.
