I just want to make sure this truck can do all, be all for all our needs. Someday that could include a TT or even a 5th wheel, but that would be years from now and isn't in the plans now. We wouldn't go with some huge monstrosity, so as long as that gearing could handle a standard size trailer.
Now I need some education about GVWR. With the referenced 'modifications', if an Arctic Fox is, say 5000 wet, and the payload on the RAM is 4350, is there a way to be both safe and legal?
To get the payload up I would be fine going back down to Tradesman or SLT, but can't give up 4x4 or crew cab and don't think going gas is the best option (right? right?). What else can I do?
My Stock Ram DRW has a 5565 lb. payload capacity Got to love it!!!
With my 5,800# pin I am at my RAWR of 9,750#. With that I am WAY OVER my false GVWR f 14k.
