Hi. This is my first ever post, as it is the first answer I couldn't find. My wife is buying a fifth wheel horse trailer, and im not thinking my half ton HEMI is the best towing option as the trialer is 13500 lb. loaded. With that, she found a real nice Power Ram 2500 q/c 4x4 HEMI. Now, the GCWR is 17000lb, but the actual truck is only rated for 10800lb from factory. This is only 800lb more than my 2010 1500 HEMI is rated. This makes me very concerned with transmissions and whatnot. I want to look for a 2500 or 3500 diesel, but this truck is "pretty" and she really wants it. Is there any way i can increase this towing capacity to avoid a headache with transmissions, or do i put my foot down and look for a diesel? Thanks.
Buy a diesel. Hands down. Get ready for 30 more opinions. "My gasser has too much power" Said no one. Ever.
