Belated Congratulations! Happy to hear you decided for it and took delivery of your unit. We are truly enjoying ours every time we go out. Very roomy when extended family/friends joins. I recently added the Airlift 1000 kit to my 2002 Chevy Tahoe and has helped smooth out the ride significantly.
Best wishes and good luck with the new rig!

Enjoy

So the sticker in the door says the unloaded weight is 6220 cargo weight to not exceed 2240. I can tell you with the air lift bags weight isn't the problem. But when your trailer is all but 33' long you might as well be towing a 33' sail boat with the sail up. Surprisingly, while I would like some more vehicle weight that hemi setup is great. I've had the same truck set up in an 05 and that did great so this one I ordered brand new and built it the way I wanted. I could have done with out the coil springs but the air bags correct that. I run 30psi when towing the camper but other trailers with a lighter tongue weight isn't a problem.

I've been towing trailers since I have my drivers license. So I'm comfortable towing something of this size. If you're just starting out, 33'can be a lot to handle no matter what the truck is. The hemi is just under 400hp stock. I'm probably a little over 400. So there is plenty of power (they use the same motor for the 2500). I gave it the test pulling fully loaded for almost a week. Hit 80 no problem, but believe me you don't want to get caught with your pants down doing that but I wanted to know what it had. Passing and pulling onto highways is no problem and running it up Pennsylvania hills is no problem. I'm geared for it. Enjoy and happy camping!
