Beautiful. Ok I need some help. I have a 2018 1500 Laramie. And over the weekend I found a unicorn. A 2018 Laramie 3500 on a lot with only 37000 km. Dually. Do you know if my cap on my 1500 will fit on my to be purchased 3500. 0h and they are matching paint. Will look so cool seeing the two side by side on the drive

Same size bed? I’d assume so, let me know what you decide to do and post some pics.

Nice! What model is that? My son has a 2018 Imagine 2670MK. Dry weight is about 6600lbs. He has a 2018 2500 6.4 4.10's. He has towed it over 7000 miles all over the country. I went with him on a trip to Baytown, Texas (from Pittsburgh). 1400 miles. We weighed it on a CAT scale and truck was about 8100 and TT was also about 8100. Had about 1100lbs tongue weight.

Good looking rig, should be no issues. looks like it’s leveled?

 

[dhay13]

Looks good. Maybe ask them if they can test fit it for you before you buy it? Should only take a few minutes

dhay13 thanks it’s a 3000qb. We really love the layout for the family. Manufacturers specs say it weighs 7139 dry with a gvwr of 8995. If I had to guess I’m somewhere between 8k and 8300 loaded depending on the trip. Truck handles it all very well. We worked it hard in the white mountains and into Maine last year very pleased.

Although I think the 4.10s with the 6.4 would be nice. I have the 3.73s

Seems my 2021 4.10's have a lot more pep than my 2014 3.73's. The test will be when I hook on to the TT.

Are they both 8` beds? As long as the 1500 doesn`t have the 5`7" bed it should fit.

It's a mega-cab so the bed is mega-short.

Packed up and ready to go camping with my Little Mobile Cabin

Making towing easy so the wife and I can relax.

Step-son just called me. He had a 26' TT that he just sold. He is going to pick up a new Grand Design Imagine 3250BH next week and asked to trade trucks for the day. He has a 2020 Tundra with 9800 tow capacity but he doesn't want to test it on a 2 hour trip home...lol. Mine has the 4.10's too. He is going to get it home then use his truck to tow it to his campground about 20 miles away. It stays there all year. Dry weight is about 8600lbs and GVWR is about 10200lbs. or so. Figure off the lot will probably be about 9300 or so.

I wish I had towed my TT with a half ton before I got a 3/4 ton. It’s so nice towing but I really miss a half ton for everything else.

 

[dhay13]

I wouldn't want to try to tow that big of a TT with a 1/2 ton. Too much mass and too much side area. Big wind gust or tractor trailer passes you it won't be a very comfortable feeling. Your TT weighs almost double what the truck would weigh and very likely be over payload

My truck doing truck stuff. 8k# trailer with a 14k# Case 580D on it.

Are they both 8` beds? As long as the 1500 doesn`t have the 5`7" bed it should fit.

They both have 6’4” beds, but one is a dually.

I still feel like it should work, even though its got dually sides.

Even if your new truck had 3.73’s you would notice a lot more pep, especially off the line. The 8 speed transmission is a game changer!! Huge upgrade.
