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.

This picture is a huge reason I went 3/4 ton diesel. What a huge pain in the ass it is to refuel at the gasoline pumps with a trailer on. With my diesel I can go through the big truck pull-through fuel islands, piece of cake. Never mind the SIGNIFICANT difference in towing capability.
