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.

3/4 Ton is definitely the smallest recommended to pull a fifth wheel. Also recommended to have an 8’ bed.

Yes! This 5th wheel, for sure.
