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...

Spend $15 at a CAT scale to find out how much your setup really weighs. Even 8k pounds will probably put a half ton Ram crew cab over GVWR. They have 800-1200 pounds of payload.

There are cew cab half tons that could do it within GVWR, but not the same brand you have now!
