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 8000-8500 pounds. The tow rating on the new Ram is 10,100 pounds.
We generally only tow a couple of times a year and we never go more than 400 miles or so...
The 2500 is my daily driver, and I am getting more and more dissatisfied with it due to the crummy ride.
On the other hand, I don't want to become a danger on the hiway. So, I would like any feedback from those folks pulling a lot of weight with a 1/2 ton....thanks in advance.
Alwaybuy the smallest truck for the job. Thats show you did your math in school. Most 1 ton people think there still playing foot ball in high school.
