Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

[Davenator]

My trailer is 5300 lbs dry so a PantyStar (8110lbs max) would cut it close. I have had no problems with my trucks and apparently the I6 S/O will be around 11,500 lbs max tow. I’m not sold on the hurricane in a ram just yet which is why I pulled the trigger on a 24. I also knew the prices would be even more ridiculous than they are now. Sure enough the pricing came out, and a 25 rebel is literally 20000 more than a 24!! Insane. Personally I think dropping the V8 along with these crazy prices might hurt them a bit.

I think the inline 6 is gonna tow pretty well. my '19 laramie 5.7 was a great truck and towed our 6000# trailer well with the 3.92 and 33 gal tank but I bet the new motor will be fine. for me tho, I still prefer a v8 in 1500 if I'm gonna work it.

It was a little high and wagging a little. Not sure I'm on level ground here.

And the air suspension probably leveled out the truck.

Cool looking Park. What the canvas between the trailer and the truck?

I would get one anyways for the sway

@justmatt76, how does that setup work?
Any idea on your hitch weight?

I have a KS Passport maybe a little smaller than yours 29'10" from hitch to bumper I really need to get it weighed maybe on my fall trip so I can see what loaded weighs food booze and clothing

According to my CAT scale calculations, I'm at 860 lbs. tongue weight. I'm using an Eaz-Lift TR3 weight distribution hitch with 1200 lb. bars. So far, I've only towed it 5 miles home from storage. Seems okay so far. I just bought this truck a few weeks ago. I used to pull this trailer with a lowered 2017 Silverado crew cab 2WD 5.3L. So far, I'm liking the extra 40hp from the Hemi, and the 3.92 gears (versus 3.42 in the Chevy). I'll be towing this rig about 50 miles later this evening. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the feed back.
We are considering one about that size, and your running the same hitch I'm thinking about getting.

I'm happy to report that this weekend's trip went very well. About 100 miles round trip. 70% 2-lanes @ 55-58mph, 30% interstate @ 66mph. Winds < 10mph. Trailer was very stable. Ride was very good. Definite improvement overall compared to my Silverado. Regarding the Eaz-Lift TR3 WDH, I'm pleased with its performance. Much better than the Blue Ox I had two years ago (1000 lb bars). TR3 has much less porpoising than Blue Ox, and it's much easier to set and release the bars.

do you have to remove bars when backing?
