Help wanted

2010 Ram Crew cab 5'7" bead means half ton with likely under 1400 pounds of payload. That isn't enough to carry two people, a 200 pound receiver in the bed, and pin weight of any 29' 5er. Confirm by looking a the tire and loading sticker for as equipped payload. If you want a late model Ram to tow a 5er, get a 3/4 ton gasser or better 1-ton.

It's all about sizing the tool for the job and that means ratings

'Hemi' means nothing without the TV's GVWR

Is it a +6K GVWR Truck, or +7K GVWR, or +8K GVWR or +9K GVWR or bigger?

Ditto the sizing of the trailer and make no matter fiver or tongued

IF your truck is capable of carrying the weight of the trailer and the hitch, there are a couple of ways you can go;
you can get an extended pinbox on the trailer
You can get a slider hitch for the truck
or
you can do both.
If your truck is a Ram 1500 with P tires, I would say you need a bigger truck and better tires. If you have LT tires in load range D, you might be barely adequate from a weight carrying/towing standpoint.
Personally, I would want a 3/4 ton truck (Ram 2500) with LT load range E tires for that trailer, and my personal choice would be one with the Cummins diesel engine. A gas engine, whether hemi or 5.9 Magnum, would do the job, but the diesel would do it better.
I would also want an 8 foot bed for towing a fifth wheel. But, that is mostly because of the amount of tools and "stuff" I could put in the bed. I could never get all I want in a 5 foot 7 inch box!

Welcome to the forum. You have posted in a section for Good Sam Club issues, I have asked the moderator to move the post.

In the meanwhile, giving more info will get better answers. A "2010 Dodge Hemi" is not a model of truck, it is the engine. We will need to know the model and how it is equipped.

In brief, there are solutions for towing a 5er with a short bed. I'm sure some here will give suggestions.

Or the Reese Revolution. Though I havent used one personally, I do know someone with one and they say it works well.
