1/2 Ton Towable

[Rustymax]

Hi

We just stumbled upon the North Trail Caliber Edition and like what we see so far. We have just placed an order for a new 1/2 ton truck, Ram 5.7 Hemi Quad with tow package 4x4, 3.92 gears. Our first question can or are there current owners able to tow the CB315 REDS or RFBS travel trailer wit a 1/2 ton truck? The Ram as we have it ordered is rated to tow 9,850. Retirement isn't until next spring so we have time to shop and place an special TT order. Any suggestion or guidance is appreciated.

Hi Mr and Mrs Rustymax,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and hopefully to the Family. We have a great bunch of people here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge if needed.

I'm sure some of our family members will jump in soon with their opinions.

Enjoy the forum.

Have a look here. Its for 2011 models but shouldn't change much. Depends on what model you have.

I would get the LT tire option as it will give much more stability, to me P tires are passenger tires and not for towing or work.
