First time finding this site and first time posting.
New to Towing and am trying to learn all I can. Here is my worry:
Truck: 2024 Ram 1500 V6 e-torque Big Horn\Lonestar 4x4 (3.21 Gear) 5'7" Bed Crew Cab
Class IV Hitch (Has the Tow/Haul mode but no break, but I will add the breaking later).
I googled and found the max towing for my truck is 7,730 pounds.
Trailer I am really wanting to get for the family but am worried about the truck not handling it:
2024 Grey Wolf DBH 29' 5"
UVW 5,581 lbs.
GVWR 7,621 lbs.
Cargo Capacity 2,040 lbs.
Most of the time will not be dry camping so would most likely not drive with the tanks full, but I plan to dry camp as well when the time calls.
I have been researching travel trailers and found that this grey wolf fits my family of 7 perfect and has everything we want. Now I am worried that the RAM will not be able to tow or handle it.
With everything that I have given above, what are your guys opinions on this?
Will my truck be able to handle and tow? Granted I live in CA and if you know about the grapevine in southern CA I will be going up that a few times a year. Is there anything I need to add to the truck to make it safer. Please let me know. Thanks!
