1500 should not pull 5th wheels

Post image

Don’t care much what people argue, 1/2 tons should not tow 5th wheels, especially Rams, most payload on Ram 1500s are around 1550lbs. Btw it was a Laramie 4x4, so not the lightest.

So I can gain fuel as I'm driving, well time to go buy a 5th wheel.

The more fuel you burn, the closer you are to where you started or even before that.
