Hi all, I have joined his forum from the UK (small island on the other side of the pond) as I am about to buy a 2004 Ram 1500 Laramie quad cab with the 5.7 Hemi Magnum engine and 5 speed auto. The main reason for buying this truck is to pull a 5th wheel.
We recently sold our GBM Landau RV and now want to get a 5th wheel for our camping weekends. I have been told that the Ram above that I want to buy may not be able to pull a reasonably lightweight 5th wheel, I have read that it should be able to haul roughly 8000lbs, which I think should be OK.
Can any of you offer advice regarding this please? Can this truck do what I want it to do and are there any simple (read affordable) mods that i can do to improve matters?
Many thanks in advance
Keith
