guys need some help I am thinking of stepping up to 5th wheel camper but do not know how to figure for the weight I know the gas will not pull like a deisel truck but I just can't see going buy a bra...
I am towing a 31' 5th wheel, loaded at about 9,300 lbs. I am under weight limits per specs for both axles on truck and trailer. It is a 2500 HD Dodge Ram with 5.7 Hemi, 2013. Does fine. No issues. Gas averages out to about 10 mpg towing, uphill, downhill, headwind, tailwind. 10 mpg. This is a LB, CC.
I towed approx a 12,000 fiver with another Dodge Ram and it towed ok on flat lands, but uphill and downhill was not good. That was also a 2500, Hemi. Too much trailer, not enough truck.
