I am planning on purchasing a tt with a dry weight of 5500 lbs. I am also looking for a used half ton truck between years 2004 and 2008. I am considering a 2006 dodge ram 1500 Laramie with a 5.7litre ...
You’ll have plenty of power to pull it. You may run out of payload though, depending on the tongue weight and how much people and gear weight you plan on carrying in the truck. That goes for just about any 1/2 ton.
What body style are you looking at? A quad cab can have as little as 1200lbs of payload. A 7k loaded tt will eat up close to 1k of that in tongue weight alone. You’d fare better with a mega cab which is built like an HD truck and can have 2500lbs of payload.
