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

Haven't read all the responses so excuse me if this has come up, but I'd request a towing test-drive of the 1500. At first they may hesitate, but if they want your business bad enough they should agree to a short run.

If you aren't happy with how the 1500 performs hooked up, you can consider a 2014 Ram 2500 with rear air suspension. That may end up being the best of both worlds-- harsh ride issue solved, no loss of capacity/capability.
