Is this enough truck?
Looking at the specs on a truck and two different travel trailers. Trying to decide if it is enough truck for either one but preferably the longer/heavier one. The truck is the ram power wagon. Accord...

Ok, IdaD, RAM as in Chrysler says don't load more than 1,470. Not me! RAM as in Chrysler. How is that mythical? The manufacturer says...you know more than Chrysler?
I'm merely suggesting that it's worth looking beyond the payload sticker sometimes. A Power Wagon is a regular heavy duty Ram with different wheels/tires and a different suspension. It still runs the same axles, same brakes, same chassis, etc. as a regular heavy duty Ram.
The rear axle is going to be the primary weight carrier for a trailer and it's only rated 300 lbs lower than a regular 2500 (6200 vs 6500). I don't know for sure but I suppose that's due to lower rated tires as much as anything.
