Thanks,
I was planning on installing air bags, different rims, tires, Pacbrake on the truck. How about this one?
33.92 ft.
Dry Weight 9,970 lbs.
Payload Capacity 3,645 lbs.
GVWR 13,615 lbs.
Hitch Weight 1,615 lbs.
Well that is a better fit, I doubt that you will use all the 3,645# payload on the 5er. Use the VIN decoder to see if the truck has a camper package, which will add carrying capacity, but won’t raise the pathetic GVWR on your Ram. Understand that with even with a lightly loaded TV you have the possibility of running as much as 1,000# to 1,200# over GVWR, but will still be within the rear GAWR.
To me for you get the PacBrake, just drove to Flagstaff from Phoenix and Darn there are some steep hills on I17! I addition make sure your radiator is clean inside and out.
Look at my signature our 5er is 9,820# Dry and has a 12,360# GVWR and tows great, small chip 50 HP and 140# torque, and RV275 injectors.
