The average weekend RVer adds 1000 pounds to dry weights, and 200 of that is TW based on the storage of many TTs. Full timing, 2+ months on the road? That's more like 2500-3000 pounds of extra weight. 6000 pounds dry means 8500 pounds loaded with 1100 pounds of loaded TW. How much payload does your tire and loading sticker say you have? And then take off the weight of you/spouse. Full timing wit a bed full of stuff? I don't see how the numbers will turn out in your favor given the payloads of 2009+ Rams. Your truck is worth at least as much as a quality used 2010 Ram 2500 gasser that will be much more comfortable towing across the country. Do you wan to enjoy the trip? Get the truck that will handle the weight more comfortably.
