Just bought one a week ago. Curious what others pull it with. Thank you.
What TV do you have??.
The dodge has the same tow capacity as my truck and the trailer weight is the same as mine, so you should be good to go.

Don't count you will only be adding 500#'s to your trailer ready to travel. Clothes, shoes, food, some water in the fresh tank (don't leave home without some) sleeping bags,ETC,ETC weigh more than you think. People, dogs, cats, fuel, firewood ETC,ETC all add weight to the TV. Load up for travel, stop at a CAT scale (truck stop) and weigh the whole thing...and you will be surprised. Costs $9 to do it. BTW, the WDH probably weigh's in at 100# with all the parts and pieces.
Just a small update. We finally got around to taking the TT out for its first trip. I was really unimpressed by how theRam 1500 pulled it. Every slight hill was a struggle. It would downshift and lose speed. Plus the truck only got 9mpg on a drive to the coast. I drive LTL for a living and am used to pulling trailers (usually they're load is rather light 5000-20,000lbs). I missed having the power and response of a turbo diesel. I figuring fixing the F250 with the V10 may help but ultimately be about the same experience. So I traded it in on 2011 F350 Lariat SRW 6.7. The Ram I will be driving to Arizona (empty) and leaving it for my parents. The pickup belonged to my Grandfather, when he passed away it was given to me so I feel giving it to another family member was the right thing to do. I just bought the 350 last night, I pick it up in a few hours, so I haven't towed the TT yet but I'm really looking forward to it. Unfortunately I won't be doing that till spring. Now the only thing I worry about is me wishing I had bought a bigger trailer.
Im not condemning 1/2 ton towing but for me at least it was not enjoyable. At least not with a trailer of that weight.
Im adding a picture of the 350 I took last night at the dealer. I haven't been this excited about a vehicle purchase since I was 16
That's a nice f350, you will love the way it tows. It won't even know that Wilderness is back there.
