1875# wet wt camper on dodge ram 1500?
Ok I found a little lance camper and I wanted to get a 3/4 ton truck for it, but the owner of the camper would like to sell his trick with it for 5000$. It only has 77k miles on it and it is a 1998. ...

I carried a dry wt 1750 camper on a 2008 Tundra, which did have a 1500lb payload. I put on air bags and upgraded to e class tires. Tundras are a bit overbuilt compared to other 1/2 tons but I realized soon that this was a short term deal. When those tires were at 80lbs and the air bags @ 60 everything went well but I could tell that the suspension was loaded. Take the tires down to 60 and it was not a good ride at all. I would venture that that truck has closer to a 1200lb payload being older. Not what you want no matter how good a deal it looks at first you will be unhappy after a trip or two. If you are driving through passes it won't even take that long. Do yourself a favor and look for a one ton, the price difference is not much. You will be glad you did.
