Towing without WD hitch

[davisenvy]

I have a 2020 Ram 1500 with a max towing of 11,447 lbs and I'm looking to tow a 25ft toy hauler with a hitch weight of 790lbs and overall weight of 5,100 lbs.

I found the camper about 125 mi away and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. I didn't have a chance to pick up a WD hitch yet and I'm planning on towing the unit back tomorrow without one. I know it won't be fun and my truck will be squatting a good bit. Would loading a motorcycle in the trailer help with the tongue weight?

Not looking for the weight police, just some that may have had experience with this similar set up and situation.

How off level do you believe your truck will be? Front brakes won’t help much.

You can get it home if you're super careful, not that I'd brag about it. The weight police are going to eat you alive though.

I think I drove home with my first RV without the WD hitch and sway control. I sure was happier once I installed them though.

Take it easy on your drive.

It'll help with the steering issue you would have empty. The further back you put the bike, the better. Maybe even load it sideways, towards the cargo door.
