Just as a point of reference, I purchased a 2016 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually, Longhorn Laramie Edition, in Feb of 2016. I ordered this truck loaded, however I did not order the factory airbags, or a sunroof, everything else it came with, dual alternators, ... etc.
I now own a 2017 Host Mammoth, I purchased the truck specifically for this camper. Yes the printed weights don't match up... Weight Police, please back off, I'm aware of my liabilities...
As a point of reference, I added upper and lower Torklift Stableloads, and a set of Pacspring airbags. The truck tows the Mammoth with ZERO ISSUES, it stops on a dime, takes off the line like a rocket. I tow it up the mountains in AZ and up the Salt River Canyon road, and then some. No sway, no bounce, the ride is amazing. I don't know where the idea that the rides are bad, however I don't have these issues.
For refrence, I run 30 lbs of air in the bags, and run front and rear tires at 76lbs. This is with a fully loaded Mammoth.
The Ram 3500 is a beast of truck and especially for towing a TC. No regrets on my end and I spend plenty of $ on both the truck and the camper, paid for both in cash, so I promise you I would be extremely picky if the ride was anything but excellent.
I forgot to add, that's also towing my 21' Skeeter bass boat or my rockbuggy.
Hope this helps some with questions of ride quality.
