New (to me) TV

In November, I saw a truck for sale at the Buick/Chevy/GMC dealer in town. It was a RAM. Looked it over, my 2004 3500 Dually was showing her age and had a little over 200,000 on her. SO, I bought the 2012 RAM 5500 (EBY flatbed body). It was set up with a gooseneck hitch which is still in place, but I added a Reese 30K over the top. 1st serious tow was Dover to Melbourne in December and return in March. Rides a bit stiffer but does a wonderful job in towing a Cedar Creek 36CKTS with a Swivelwheel behind carrying the Cricket.
2012 Cedar Creek 36 CKTS (loaded). Mrs Greentow & Missy & Maggie, Shih Tzu's with an attitude. USA(R). 30+ years in the Fire/EMS service, GS Life member.
TV is a 2012 RAM 5500 Quadcab with body by Eby (flatbed). Cummins 6.7 with 6 speed auto.

CONGRATS!
Put some miles on it and ENJOY


Not surprised it rides a bit stiff :B

Payload of 10,500 to 11,800
GVWR 18,750 to 19,500
GCVWR 26,000 to 30,000

Towing a GVWR 15,500 5th wheel
Wet pin of 3800# (FULLY Loaded...high %)

Kinda like a 3500 DRW towing a Pop-up

Don't see a reason for the 'weight police'
Is it time for your medication or mine?
