Thanks Towpro....the GVW on this truck is 13,300 lbs. and I believe the payload is around 5,970 lbs. because it's a crew cab.
I guess that I'm mostly concerned with having enough power, I live in MI but will be traveling out West occasionally and planning a 6 week tour of AK next year w/o towing anything.
I just looked in
Ram bodybuiders website. in Camper information
your "remaining cargo" weight is 4785 lbs for bench seat and 4632 for bucket seats.
this is a 5,970 total payload.
I think it will have enough power with 410 horsepower, 429 lb-ft of torque.
I have heard some say that the 4:10 allows the engine to run fast enough that the
Multi-Displacement System saves fuel, where the some ratios it keep switching on and off, but i don't know for sure.
