I towed my 5th wheel with my Ram 1500 all last summer just fine. 9200lbs and 1625 pin weight (Dry). I had the 4.10 and tow limit of 10,400lbs. I was probably right at the max for tow rating but I was definitely way above my payload rating (especially with all the firewood in the back). The 5.7 Hemi had no issues pulling the trailer and the airbags leveled me off just fine.
The only reason I upgraded to the 2500 was to be legal. I went with the gas engine due to higher cost of diesel and you lose almost 1000lbs payload with the diesel.
