Pulling a trailer with a 2014 Ram question

Again, not the power but the weight that will get you into trouble. Payload on the Ram 1500 is so restrictive that it makes it near impossible to tow anything over 5000. My 2012 had a payload of 1015 lbs, after loading it to go camping with daily tools, family, dogs, wood, propane for camp stove, I had an available hitch weight of 350 lbs, that had to include the hitch. I was usually overweight with that truck and a 23 ft trailer (6200 lbs) in the range of 107-120% of the GVWR depending on how long we were going. That being said, the truck did handle well overloaded, never felt out of control and all the power you could want to pull any hill in front of you. If I didn't weight the unit and do the math, we would have never known we were over. I ended up getting a GMC 1500 with a payload of 1985 lbs, gave us a lot bigger margin.
