Nope, I have 3.92 gearing. It’s the 2020 1500 Laramie Etorque edition.I'm guessing that your 1500 has 3.21 gearing.
There is reason when you go to campgrounds and see TT with family's are towed by Ford 150, they have a package that gives them 3000+ LB payload. Wish Ram did the same.It appears these 1500’s can’t tow much. By the time I get all our camping gear, kids toys and other stuff I, gonna be down to a darn popup trailer

So we found a trailer that has all we need and looks like it will fit for my pickup. Thank you everyone for all your help I appreciate it!!

Nah they were straight up about the price. It was on sale for the RV. Show they were promoting. I paid $32995. I found one in Washington for a couple grand less but I didn’t want to make the 18 hour round trip drive. Just started a new job and trying to save my hours. Gonna do weekend trips for a whileI was looking at a camper on their site just today.
How were they on the price? Did you have to go through the usual pain in the ass negotiations?
I thought I would be just fine, the truck is strong enough to pull a lot. I was just worried about insurance. I was afraid if we got in a wreck the insurance would find out I was overloaded and not payout.I have a 2013 1500 w/ 5.7, 6pd, and 3.92 gears. My camper is a 2018 Keystone Springdale 270le. It's 7000lbs dry. I have a 10,000lb Reese Dual Cam sway. It tows like a dream. Hardly any sway and more than enough power. No issues what-so-ever. My wife tends to pack like we're gone for a month too. I live in NY, been through the Adirondacks and North country (1000 islands.) If you have the 3.92 gears you're straight.
But a 2500 problem solved. People either buy to little truck or too much trailer then want to know how to fix their issues. Consider this too, if you get into a wreck the DOT can impound your truck and trailer and weigh everything..... if you are over the max weight guess what, tickets and oh this is especially lovely...... YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY CAN REFUSE YOUR CLAIM!
I'm a little late here but adding a lift kit would be a BIG mistake for towing. The lower the tow vehicle, the more stable it is.my other question is I was looking at a 6” lift kit. It’s the BDS adjustable coil over lift kit and I’m adding airbags as well. I’ve read that lift kits effect towing and I’ve read that it doesn’t effect it. I’m looking at a 30/31’ (Hitch to bumper) travel trailer with a GVWR of 7600 lbs. I don’t plan on maxing it out as far as the GVWR but, has anyone pulled this type of trailer with a lifted half ton?
