Buying a new TC
Hey, I'm new to this site and Joining the RV world :) So I've got a 2020 Ram 3500 6.7 cummins SRW 6"4" box and ordered the 2021 Northern Lite 8-11 EXLE. There're 2 things that I'm kinda hung up on and...

Given the generally accepted "rule of thumb" of adding ~1000lbs to the dry weight to get the ready for camping weight, your likely going to be over your GVWR. (for example, my '17 F250+NL9.6+gear weigh in at ~12000lbs)
The two NL groups on FB each has dozens of examples of folks with 1T SRW trucks carrying a 10.2 NL camper.
While in a recent survey ~70% of the SRW+NL owners did modifications to their trucks (tires+rims, shocks, suspension or all three) there are quite a few people using that setup.
With the above being said, ~30% made no modifications to their trucks.
Get the setup all loaded up for camping and do a test drive or two. You will soon know if you need modifications (or NOT!) to your truck.
Happy camping!
