I am planning on purchasing a tt with a dry weight of 5500 lbs. I am also looking for a used half ton truck between years 2004 and 2008. I am considering a 2006 dodge ram 1500 Laramie with a 5.7litre ...
A 1/2 ton will comfortably pull a 6500lb trailer. I pulled a 28ft 6500 lb loaded TT with my Dodge conv van, it had the 5.9L and 3.90 gear. It was underpowered by today’s standards but it had no issues towing it on a 3500 mile 2 week trip out west!
If you think you may upgrade after a while then yes get the 3/4 ton. Otherwise the 1/2 ton willl be fine!
