This is the end all thread to the 1500 Toy Hauler. I had a 2019 Ram 1500 Hemi, 4.10 gears, 4x4, Bighorn, Crew Cab, 6'4 bed. 11,800 towing, 1710 payload. It was supposed to be my 20 year truck......BUT

I wanted a toy hauler so I did the endless amount of free internet research and it culminated to this. You just can't do it legally(payload) UNLESS you want a bare bones trailer and be really **** about weight and have a thin wife and kids. It can be done....but most of us with toy haulers have a family and need to haul a side by side. The only trailer I found that could home my Kawasaki Teryx4 (1600LBS) was the No Boundaries 19.1. Even with that setup it was a nail biter for payload. 1500s max out their payload far before towing capacity.

So, bye bye 1500, here's my Real American Muscle lineage -

2019 Ecodiesel 4x2 Classic Crew Cab Laramie (wifes truck traded in a Subaru Outback for the RAM)

My trucks....

2014 Hemi 4x4 Quad Cab Express - TRADED IN FOR
2019 Hemi 4x4 New Crew Big Horn ---TRADED IN FOR
2020 Hemi 4x4 New Tradesman with 3.73 gears, 8.4 uconnect, tow package, bed package, chrome package. 3200 payload 14800 towing.

I'm hoping my new HD truck gives me many years of reliability, safety and adventure for my family.
