PROVIDED they tow within the vehicles towing capabilities.....such as 'payload', GVWR, AWRs, Tire Load Ratings.
Not sure which model of Springdale you bought but going from one 1500 to another may not solve your towing problems
What is the GVWR of your trailer?
10-15% of that gross is what the tongue weight could be......can the truck handle that weight?
150/1500s run out of payload capacity quickly......all weight in truck (people, cargo etc.) decrease the available payload.
I agree with Biscuit. You need to get to a scale and verify your loaded weights. Then you can shop for a truck that will be within the towing capacities. The 1500HD will most likely do the job but you need to verify the weights before you spend any money. The rear axle ratio is one of the problems with your current setup. You need at least a 3.73.
