While I would prefer a 5th wheel (so please dont tell me why its better - I already know)... I have an amazing deal sitting in front of me for a travel trailer.
I drive:
2014 Ram 2500 HD 4x2 with 5.7 Hemi 3.73 gear longbed crew cab
The trailer:
37'5" (ball to bumper)
GVRW 9735lbs
Hitch wt 936
Obviously I will have a weight distribution hitch and sway control (any recommendations helpful).
Anyone here have a similar setup to mine or able to tell me what towing something like this takes? After my earlier post I've decided to at least give the 3.73 a shot before upgrading the rear end, but I'm still a little hesitant to pull the trigger on buying the trailer.
I've hauled hay and tractors and boats and pretty much anything you can tow since I was 15, but I've never pulled something this long behind a long wheel base truck..... I mean they sell 1000s of bumper pull trailers every year this length - certainly someone here can put my mind at ease.
