I just bought a 2008 4dr hemi 4x2 1500. I was wondering if my truck can handle a 20ft goose neck with a 3000lb car on it? Ill only be doing this haul 3-4 times a year about 120 miles max in each direction. I bought this truck to retire my 99 CTD, if my new truck cant do it without damage then i Just might keep my diesel.

What gear ratio does the 1500 have?
Either way, 1500s aren't really designed to pull goosenecks
I'm figuring that trailer might be around 7k lbs total weight, properly equipped your rated to pull about 8,500 lbs off the bumper, the rated payload of the truck is 1400-1500 lbs and 1200 of that will be tongue weight
