Within Limitations
I’m pretty sure I’m good but I figured to have the resident Weight Police double check me. All the numbers seem to agree and I also used a Towing Calculator I found in these forums as well. I don’t...

If available payload is important he might be better off with the 6.4 Hemi. The Cummins Diesel weighs in the area of 1000lbs more than the Hemi, all of which is subtracted from available payload. I...

While a 5th wheel has more storage capabilities than a TT, you loose the Storage Capabilities of the Truck. You mentioned a Box placed in Truck Bed in front of the 5th Wheel Hitch, I never saw this...
