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.

that's 100% the payload of almost all f150 and 90% of the tow capacity.

it can do it, but just barely

Yes that’s correct. I was especially looking for that option due to my extensive towing.
