Towing 7300 pounds with a 1/2 ton Hemi....a-ok??

I am thinking about trading my 3/4 ton "rough rider" for a new 1500 Ram with a 3.93 rear end and towing package. Our trailer weight is 7300 pounds dry, and we pack light, so we are looking around 8000...

X2 on payload being your limiting factor. 1/2 tons ride better because they have lighter / softer suspensions. The tongue on 8k TT will be around 1000 and the Dodge 1/2 tons are light on payload. Check your #s and don't sell yourself short. You may regret it.
