There are so many mixed answers. Here is what I am dealing with. DW and I just purchased a new 2016 Ram Bighorn with 5.7 Hemi, 3.92 gears, and true towing package. My truck has the transmission cooler along with the class IV hitch and electronic braking system. We have two kidos and two dogs that will be traveling with us.
Now to the question... after so much reading and conflicting reviews I would like real world advise. We are looking at travel trailers ranging from 32'-36' and weighting in at 7,000 - 9,000 lbs dry weight. I would love to hear from some of you that have actually owned and towed something of this nature with the same truck. Not a 2500 or a Chevy or a Ford but a 1500 RAM with the same type set up. I have seen people pulling 9,000lbs trailers on YouTube with no issues and then read reviews of people saying don't pull over 5,000lbs.
WHAT IS THE REAL DEAL?????
Thanks!!
