I had this truck configuration pulling a DRV which weighted over 20,000 pounds. It had power to spare. You want a truck you can drive to the store other places and pull your trailer. These people with these semi-truck cabs pulling 5th wheel is over kill and a big inconvenience for every day use.

Agreed!!!
I tow heavier than anyone I know with a 15 DRW RAM CUMMINS/AISIN with 4.10's and Factory rear Air.
Truck and RV are rock solid in any weather conditions. I run full RAWR of 9,750# and the truck sets level with or without the load. Rear air give a lower entry/exit than without. It also gives a great loaded and unloaded ride.
OP mentioned "significantly tighter steering" in a 4500/5500. I really don't understand that statement. Mine has very tight & solid steering.
Pics are with Alt Ride engaged.
DRV weighs 24k and combined weight in pic over 35k.
