TV will be a dodge 3500 drw crew cab 4wd long bed slt, 4.10 rear, max tow pkg, etc. Max pin weight would be 4,500, trail weight about 19,900 and GCWR 28,300.
With the 3.73 rear, same pin weight but trail weight drops to 16,700 & GCWR drops to 25,000. These are right off the ram spec sheets.
Base weight of truck is approx. 7,800. Add fuel @ 7.3 lbs per gal (x 54), 2 over weight people & one slightly overweight small dog (we're working on that), tool box, hitch & stuff & you're probably around 9,000 lb plus about 18k for trailer. Still under 28,300 GCWR.
Haven't checked or compared ford or chev specs yet. Liked dodge better.
