Will Ram 2500 be enough?
Hi, everybody. Don't have a 5er yet, but will soon. My question is this: I will more than likely be buying ( new or used) an Arctic Fox 27-5. I keep hearing of people pulling that basic size with 3/4 ...

Yes, until you pull into a parking garage, while your out exploring on your travels!
2500 and 3500 SRW are the same size.Coach-man wrote:
Also, keep in mind many 3/4 ton vehicles are the exact same vehicle as their 1 ton SRW counterparts! Difference, in some states the 1 ton gets extra taxes and/or license requirements! Do the research, check your anticipated pin weights, check the ratings of the tires, and wheels. If RAM, is a "Heavy Duty" with the same engine, transmission and rear end as the 2500? Make an intelligent informed decision!
The 3/4 and 1 ton Rams are NOT the "exact same vehicle" as I've detailed in this thread (to the chagrin of some).

2500 & 3500 the same, but 3/4 and 1 ton are not??? I and others have pointed out that the difference is the 2500 is rated under 10,000 lbs, because there are states that charge more if over 10,000 lbs! There are no laws against saying the truck has less capacity than it really has! It is a marketing ploy, the components are the same, wheels and tires are the determining factor in a lot of cases!
