We're looking at travel trailers and I'm doing the math on the 2019 Rebels specs, everything looks to be decent enough for a small-mid size RV but I'm curious to hear if any others are towing with it.
RAM's 2019 1500 spec sheet doesn't seem to apply directly to the Rebel, based on numbers on the vehicle itself and what RAM tells me when I search my VIN on the towing guide, so I'm having to take the specs I find and do some estimating.

That tells me the payload is 1840, but the towing guide says 1500. Is the suspension of the Rebel trim ~300 more than the standard 1500 crew cab or does it just say that generically since it's a 1500 truck? The towing weights are only about 100lbs off, so I'll just use the lower number of 11340 Anyway, I'm looking at RVs which are in the ~6500-7500lbs max gvwr range and tongue weights from ~550 to ~750lbs. It's just two of us and we travel pretty light so I don't think we'll exceed the gvwr of the truck, am I setting myself up for failure there or should this be alright since I'm well within stated specs?
Any thoughts appreciated!
