Host Mammoth camper

I can't see this one being right. Most people load their campers with 1000 pounds, and you need to count on the tongue weight of the trailer bearing down so far back of the rear axle, as well as the weight of the camper and it's center of gravity.

Sit down, look up the capacity of the exact truck you have, with the tires and axles, then look at passengers and trailer hitches, then weigh the truck so you really know how much you can put in the box. The center of gravity might be behind the rear axle with that camper...

You are probably going to be over your GVWR, but the tires should be good. I don't know about the axle on that truck. There are people here who bought 5500s for that TC because they were going to two heavier trailers.

I'm sure you'll get more responses in a bit.

When bought truck and camper, they said the 3500 is all I need. Seen a couple
of post doing the same weight with TC and trailer weight. I see that I will go
over payload , but can't find anything on rear suspension I have. Looked it up
online the pictures are different than what's on my truck.This is my first TC,
wanted to tow my boat doesn't look like I can.
Thanks

IMO doable for the camper. The truck will also tug 10k while hauling the camper but I personally wouldn't want to on a regular basis or thru the mountains.
You'll need at a minimum to get a proper hitch extension and analyze the tongue weight. Asking a lot of the back of a 1 ton truck.
Regarding suspension, if you're planning on making this a regular occurrence, I'd ditch the air assist for a full leaf setup with aftermarket leafs to carry the load. Someone else can chime in about stability with the air bag assist. My Gut says too much air and not enough spring may make for a bouncy ride.

Ideal setup would be a 5500/F550.

Your camper will be at 6,000 lbs easily. My dealer stamp was about the same weight as yours. Knowing you will pick up the new camper with the truck you have, gauge that experience and get weighed. A 9,000 lb trailer behind your set up should tell the story before it's written. That's 1.5 + jeeps

Depends , what do you have for a motor the diesel or a gas motor and what rear gears do you have ,if you had the 6.4 gas motor with 4:10 gears in a crew cab configuration with Dual rear wheels your GVWR would be 14K, payload would be a hair under 7K and your slide in camper rating would be just under 6K like 5900 and a bit more, our mammoth weighted in at 5500 loaded on the truck with tie down's and fast guns, dry with full propane tanks, we have the generator and double couch with 2 TV's and the fireplace. I am over my gvwr with full fuel and wife in the truck , have been looking to replace the 2007 which had some really low ratings for a drw 1 ton

Piece of cake, because "THEY" said so.....
Love the dealers. Getting their commission is priority one. You have to figure it out from there.:R

Diesel 6.7 aiding trans, 3.42 gears

I would say your truck is a lot like mine. I have the factory air suspension. I love it. True story. Earlier this year I loaded the camper on the truck and was going to a shoot at Knob Creek. I loaded a few guns and a lot of ammo. Camper had no water in it. I drove about 20 miles to my local cat scale. Drove great. I was 15,800
total. OK, to much weight for me. KC is 1000 miles round trip. I am lighter coming back though. I took 2 guns out and about a third of the ammo. Went back and weighed. 15,100. I went with it. Filled with water when I got there. No issues at all.
Ram rates your rear axle at 9750. AA who builds it rates it higher, 10-11k. Check your tire ratings, you should be good with the factory ones. Host says my TC weighs 4275 and they were spot on, I checked 10 minutes after loading it the first time. Enjoy it
I just picked up an enclosed trailer for future creek trips. All weight will go in the trailer and I will be using a WD hitch. I will also be loading the trailer with a scale under the ball so I can keep track of tongue weight.
