2014 Ram 2500 4x2, Laramie CC, shortbox 6.4L Gas, 4.10 Gear
Payload 3490
Towing 15,820
Fifth wheel
KZ Durango D336RE
Dry weight 10,070 (10,400 actual weight as seen at local RV show)
Dry Hitch 1,830
GVWR 12,500
Length 34' 9"
Going by GVWR (20% x 12,500) = 2500 Pin weight
Looks by the numbers that I should be good. What am I missing? I was initially looking at a 1 Ton Ram Gas but I only gain 490lbs payload (3980 vs 3490) and I'd like to get the 2500 due to the coil spring suspension. The truck will be my daily driver.
Well, to give a direct contrast to a 1-ton, the payload rating for my specific truck is 3,800 lbs. Basically the same truck as you're posting, only difference is I'm Diesel and I have a 4x4. So in my eyes, you're really not that far off from a 1-ton. I doubt you'll really miss those 400 lbs.
