We have a 2017 1500 V8 5.7L with an axel ratio of 3.21. We’ve been getting the run around about towing travel trailers. So much differing advice from multiple communities, neighbors and TT dealers. I’ve used a tow calculator on google but continue to exceed payload capacity by 1-4%. Dealers us a different calculation and insist we have more than enough room to pull a ~6K trailer. We understand we will need equalizer hitch and sway bars but we’re just informed that nearly any trailer we try to tow will give us trouble and pull the truck around. Our RAM also has cool suspension versus leaf so we’re at a loss. Buying a larger truck is out of the question as we just purchased this truck last month...before we learned so much about towing.
