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...

I've seen everything from a Harley pulling an MC tent trailer to F450's pulling 40'5'ers. I'm guessing PA doesn't get out of the trailer too often.


I have to agree. Our last trip there was a Mitsubishi sedan towing an A liner. Canadians that left Jan 1 and this was beginning of March in San Diego, CA at Silver Strand State Beach.
