It's around 8400 lbs dry. I haven't weighed my current trailer, but I have a feeling it's not far off when loaded up, ready to camp and on par with a car hauler I use once in a while.
'16 Ram has a Class 5 hitch which is rated 1700lbs with WD. Specs on the Trailer claim 1250 hitch weight, which seems light to me...
My ram was getting work this weekend so I had to rent an F250 (2019). My camper pushed that truck around about as much as my Tundra when I had it. When it's hooked up to my Ram it's straight as an arrow and I need to check to make sure it's still back there.
Published tongue weights are empty. Real tongue weights will be in the 10 - 12% of GVWR range for pull-behinds and 23% of GVWR for fifth wheel pin weights.
