- 2500 6.4L Hemi 4.10's 'Off-Road'
And yet we have people thinking it's fine to tow that with a 1500 when a 2500 couldn't handle it.

Yes applying the trailer brakes would have straightened it right out.Wow.......
Would applying the trailer brakes as soon as it started swaying possibly prevented that?
Last summer at a military campground a guy and his family were towing and his 1500 was absolutely maxed out on squat. He asked me to back his trailer in since he always tried to get pull thru spots. It was a straight shot backwards, didn’t even have to really cut the wheels. I worried about him for a while and hoped they got home safely. Maxed out truck and didn’t know how to park his rigI think a lot of these campers are city guys that are not use to anything larger than a car. I know a couple that retired, Bought a 35 ft 5th wheel, and a one ton. fist time he ever drove a truck was when they headed south. He could not back that thing up, had to find someone to park it . He made it somehow????????? I have seen semi trailers wagging in the winds around here, I never, ever drive beside one.
Why did you have to go there? That was a 2500 and it got blasted. I see way more 2500 guys over loading than 1500s. They think the 2500 is just like a 3500. No it is not.And yet we have people thinking it's fine to tow that with a 1500 when a 2500 couldn't handle it.
That was my point. Loading a 1500 like a 2500 and a 2500 like a 3500. Not singling out a certain truck, just that people are always overloading them thinking they will be fine. That particular truck may not have been overloaded (and doesn't look like it was) just improperly loaded.Why did you have to go there? That was a 2500 and it got blasted.

That window is really nice, and I like that the slide out(s) are not on the door side. I assume a rear kitchen? We had that in our last 5th wheel and it was perfect. And lastly, no goofy (to me) outdoor kitchen under the bunk that I would never use and just wish for storage space instead. That almost looks like a third axle would fit nicely there, but how does it tow overall?
