Hey everyone, looking for some advice...
The wife and I have been toying around with the idea of getting a travel trailer. I am a novice to this, I understand GCW/GCWR, Trailer Weight, Tounge weight as part of the truck payload capacity.
What I am unsure of is what is actually a safe target for towing without ruining my transmission and what I can tow with the stock setup. What, if any upgrades I should think about. (air bags, etc...)
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic with the 3.6L V-6. Axle Ratio is 3.55, Per the attached chart it says my max trailer weight is 7400lbs.
I was told to target 85% of max as a rule of thumb.
Looking for any info.
Thanks
