I have the same fiver and mine weighs in excess of 18,000 lb fully loaded and am running the max limit of my F350 Ford with Tow Boss package, which is rated at 26,000 Gross weight. You Dodge will be over it's weight capacity but feel it will handle the job. These Mobile Suites are extremely heavy and I personally find that mine is to long for most camping. It is good for spending the winter in Florida, but hard to fit in most campgrounds. If I had it to go over I would have went with the 36 TK3. I think you will also have difficulty fitting in most state parks. I have run into situations where when calling campgrounds, they all say no problem with plenty of room and when I arrive I find that my fiver would have to swivel in the middle to fit into the space. As far as the exhaust brake, my Ford's transmission will hold the fiver back on hills when in the tow mode and don't need a exhaust brake. I really don't know how your Dodge is set up on the tow mode. Good luck!
