New user here but am very familiar with forums. I find them the best place to get answers so here I am. Recently Dodge purchased back my 2011 Ram 2500 4x4 due to tranny issues resulting in a second tranny biting the dust at a whopping 7,500 miles (15 months and it sat in the yard most of those while I was contracting in Afg/Iraq) never pulled or even had anything in the bed of her. Anyhow I decided that it would be my last diesel and picked up a Hemi Rig.
Now the confusion.... I purchased a Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn. Its a beautiful truck, not really a working mans rig but meh I work hard for my stuff and put my **** in the wind more than I should. This thing has the Heavy Duty tranny cooling, trailer towing package which includes 4 and 7 pin connections, the brake controller, some sort of rear diff, Class IV hitch, and lots of luxury. I went on monday and looked at a Travel Trailer and I was thinking that this little jewell had a sticker somewhere about 8500 GVWR, I picked it out and my wife went today to pay for it and sign some papers. Well they made her sign one that they were not responsible for our truck not being rated to tow the trailer. She said something about a sticker they read on the door stating it had a GVWR of 6800# and the trailer weighing in at 6500#. The Ram options for the year are 6300#, 8300#, and 9800#. Any insight into this? I am not home in person to sort it out.
Thanks in Advance
