I am in learning fact finding mode. Shopping used and in no hurry. Though I have issues thinking hitch weight. My 2016 Ram Crew toeing capacity 10,200. Cargo 1333. Just me and my wife in truck maybe...
I’m sure some people will have more info but I’ve always found part of the weak link on half ton trucks are the tires. If you have P- rated tires you may want to consider upping the tire capacity to help with the borderline payload. Have fun shopping!
