I have a Ram 5500 hauling a Host Mammoth and towing an 8000 LB enclosed trailer. Here are my weights to give you an idea:
The truck weighs about 11,000 lbs with a rear deck, six upper and lower storage boxes and a 42” double truss receiver extension holding my spare tire. With 600 lbs of batteries, storage boxes filled and occupants in the cab, we are around 12,000 lbs.
My Host dry weight is about 4800 lbs. Once filled and loaded on the truck, I am around 17,500 lbs before I hitch up the trailer. The tongue weight on my trailer is about 1000 lbs going to a weight distribution hitch, but I am still over 18,000 lbs on the truck.
