ummm, so I don't ever plan to have this thing chalked full of weighty items until I own a Peterbuilt to pull it with. So if it was empty, I could pull it no problem? Someone just lay it out for me in terms I can understand. The dodge's engine can pull it, the gear ratio should handle it...
Here's what the dodge manufacturer's website says:
Towing & Payload
Whether you're heading to the water with your boat or loading the cargo box with firewood, Dodge Ram's impressive towing and payload capabilities are up to the task.
Ram 3500 specs:
Towing capacity: 17,000 pounds[1]
Payload...
that's some great advice. that makes it more clear. this has been a very confusing process for my wife and i coming off a travel trailer. i already have a prodigy brake controller. So, my 3500 with airbags, stronger rims and E rated tires ought to do the trick, eh?
I heard airbags would be sufficient to create stability. Why don't the dealers caution buyers on this? Shouldn't they be liable if my TV can't pull it safely? I bet they just sit back and laugh in the sales shack sipping stale folgers, while we roll off the lot unable to steer or brake.
pin weight for the 405rw?
I have a 3500 single dodge 2007.5 megacab, with D rated tires up to 3150lbs each. What's the pin weight of the 405rw? I can't see it on the website. Are we sure the tires and stock rims can handle the weight of the hitch and pin, fully loaded with gear? Please advise.
