Is my Ram 2500 a wimp or am I missing something here?

My point is research your local laws and rules, read threads like this, and make the best decision for you.

Best comment I've seen on a rv website.
Also find out how your state interprets and enforces said regulation.

I also would add research the truck makers websites for actual mechanical specs of a 3/4 vs one ton SRW truck in a particular year model.

With all the manufacturers tech info and advice available I'm surprised at some of the uneducated comments made on this subject.
