Alright, so I LEASED a truck. I went and picked it out based really on existing stock - because thats what was there, and in this climate thats the options I had.
I ended up with a 5.7 Hemi 2022 Black edition. Super happy with it, chose it because the sales guy was telling me I could pull 11,700lbs with it (and the whole reason I wanted a truck was to get a TT).
Today, after months and months of searching, negotiating...I find my TT, put my paperwork in, all is good. Was planning on driving the 5 hours to go get it during this upcoming weekend.
I looked a long while, because I REALLY wanted a place my kids could call 'home' more than just a dinette that folded out, or a jacknife sofa. I settled on a MR338BHS. It's a heavy beast, but I wasn't worried. I didn't anticipate driving all over, as the truck is a lease - but perhaps a few intrastate trips, even parking it at local spots just to enjoy some time away from the kids mother (we're no longer together). Huge perk of my job is I can work from anywhere, and I sometimes travel - so I also figured on semi-local trips I'd tow the thing to the job site, and save on hotel, flight, food expenses while 'on-site'...while enjoying my own 'home away from home'. Win/Win/Win.
After talking to the salesperson about the weight...her hesitation was warranted - 10,700 is the weight of the trailer. Her concern was I'd be overweighting myself, and fair enough - but I've got two small children and no significant other, so payload should be alright - and I live fairly minimally, but would use this thing as an off-grid home replacement - so I'm not pretending I need to pack up all the outdoor activity things, the coolers full of XYZ, the fishing gear, the bikes....
So just to confirm, I go on the RAM website....I see the VIN lookup for towing capacity....type in my VIN and realize -
I've got the 3.28 gears.
Anything I can do about it...
or back to the drawing board, while hating my salesman for not knowing jack **** about my truck?!
