Pulling the trigger on first TV - anything I'm missing?

[chilly81]

I'm about the pull the trigger on a brand new TV. Think I have everything sorted out, but I have no actual experience with this stuff - just reading the interwebs. It's a lot of dough - so I wanted to just throw it out there to see if I might be overlooking anything.

Trailer (patiently waiting in driveway):
02 Nash 22h (24' TT). 4200# dry. 7000# max loaded.
I ~believe~ dry tongue is quoted around #450... I think worst case assume #1000 - and the truck could handle that with me and a couple hundred #'s of junk in the bed. I can't imagine it being that high though.

Truck:
2014 Ram 1500 Express Quad cab 4x4
5.7L 8-speed auto, w/3.92 gears
20" rims
Integrated brake controller
Class IV hitch
Tow mirrors.
Backup camera.
Tow: 10,150#
Payload:1495#

I didn't go for air springs. I got a 1000# equal-izer hitch off craigslist that I'm going to start with and see how things work.

So am I forgetting anything (besides ford/gm/toyota/diesel is better type of advice)?

Looks pretty good to me. The WH will weigh something, but the amount of weight transferring back to the trailer compensates for a chunk if not all of it. At 7000 lbs a high TW would be 15% or 1050 lbs, so you'd have that ~450 lbs left over to play with for you, passenger, and junk in the trunk.

Is the express the real short wheelbase truck? If so you may have a little wobble, but different WDH setups could eliminate some of that too.

GL!
