Hello folks.....We are looking to purchase a 2012 Cyclone 3950 and one of the things that the dealer has asked me is what is my tow vehicle. I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 dually 2WD, LWB with the Cummins engine and a 3.73 gear in rear end. Now I know in my mind that there shouldn't be any concerns at pulling this camper, but when looking up the towing capacity online, it states with the auto trans and the 3.73 gear, the towing capacity is only 13,400 pounds. Really?.....Is this bumper hitch capacity or total capacity, that I don't know, but I was under the impression that the truck was around the 18k range.
I know I have to upgrade my 16k Reese hitch and I'm looking at the 20K Reese Select plus #30081 (as it's on sale at my local hitch shop for $570).
Any thoughts and comments will be appreciated. Thanks.
