I’m looking for my new Ram. I’ll be towing a 7500 lbs travel trailer. If I can’t find a truck with both, which would benefit me more - 4 corner air suspension or 3.92 rear axel ratio? Seems like everything I find has one or the other.
This is exactly the reason. We explain the whole situation in the other threads. You set the WDH with the truck in jack mode...then when it is properly setup to transfer weight back to front axle of truck and the axles of the trailer, then air suspension back to normal levels out the truck and away you go. Air suspension also makes hooking up and un hooking much easier.From what I've gathered here, while the air suspension levels the truck, the hitch actually transfers the weight towards the front axles.
Absolutely! Have seen a lot of unsafe towing situations out there over the years.Now if I had $5 for every happy camper family running down the road with either 1) no WDH when desperately needed, or 2) nice WDH but not even remotely close to being properly set up, I'd have already retired! Two general rules for anyone new or novice at towing: 1) don't believe the trailer dealer, and 2) don't believe the tow vehicle dealer! Do your own homework and know exactly what your buying and be informed about what you need to safely tow for the sake of your family and those of us you will share the road with!
Once saw a minivan with a flat vehicle trailer towing an SUV. Dude was swerving eeeeeeverywhere.Absolutely! Have seen a lot of unsafe towing situations out there over the years.

15% tongue weight is an ancient standard. The new standard has been 10% for a long time now, giving an extra 375 lbs in your example.PAYLOAD!
A 7500 lbs trailer at 15% tongue weight is 1125 lbs
