Thoughts on Eagle Cap 1165

I have an 1160. If you don't plan on hauling a trailer, you'll be at the ragged edge of a 1-ton drw, but ok. I had an F350 drw and had to move up to an F450 because I also haul a somewhat heavy trailer. I had too many weight-related issues with my F350, which you will also have with your dodge if you also haul a trailer. 17" tires don't like it. I had issues with all 4 rears--delam, sidewall bubbling, and even a cracked rim. But this was with a trailer as well as the TC. My F450 has 19.5 tires, and I've not had a single issue to date with weight.

If you don't plan on hauling a trailer, I would say a 1-ton drw is ok. Not great, but ok.
