Looking at purchasing a new 2013 Ram Outdoorsman 2500. It has the 6.7 L Cummins and 68 RFE transmission with 3.42 gears. Dealer has it reduced to $53 k down from $68,945.
This vehicle will be my daily driver and used to haul a bumper pull horse trailer (2700 lbs) and 2 horses (2400 lbs), gear (300 lbs) 4 people (600lbs) etc all told approx 6,000'ish pounds. No doubt the truck is fine to pull this weight but my question is how much can this truck bumper pull? I can't find the info anywhere. I have seen it is 5th wheel rated for 17,200 lbs.
This truck also has the Ram boxes. Like em or hate em?
Do the Ram boxes prevent you from getting a fifth wheel hitch? How about a slide in camper?
Reason I ask is we may look at a truck camper to haul when we pull the horse trailer. Also may upgrade trailer to a living quarters horse trailer.
Hoping this is the right truck for us.
Opinions please
