Newbie here. I have a 2017 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi, 3.73 gears sb, and have towed a 30' tt for the past 5 years. Been very happy with the performance overall, as this is my first Ram I've ever owned. Has pulled this camper very well. Well, we are a family of 6, and we have out grown the camper. So, we have decided to upgrade to a 5'er. I went to the Ram towing guide for my year, and said my set up is rated to pull 12,600. Now, I know that number isn't accurate based on the payload. I calculated it myself by taking the GVWR subtracted from GCWR and came up with 9,800 tow capacity. The 5'er we are looking at weighs 10,600 dry, 13600 GVRW. I know we won't come close to the max cargo capacity for both the camper and the truck, which gives a cushion. I really don't won't to have to pull the trigger on a new truck as I just paid this off back in Feb. So, any thoughts on being able to pull this safely?
