Cougar 367FLS

Wondering if this camper is too much for truck? Anybody tow this with a 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins? Specs are below

Truck
2017 Ram Laramie Crew Cab
6.7L Diesel
4x4
3.42 Gear
68 RFE Transmission

2018 Cougar 367FLS
Shipping Weight 10,963
GVWR 14000
20% for hitch weight 2800

I figure I am going to be a little over 6,000 on rear axle which is rated for 6,500.

Anybody provide any feedback? Thanks

Sounds like you know you will be over weight. So you just answered your own question. Different camper or different truck is the best thing to do.

Check the payload on the door of your truck. I think you'll find that the tongue weight alone will surpass the payload limit of the truck.

What Kyle and Danny said^^^^. The yellow sticker is the answer to most of your questions. I think most of the air is already out of your balloon, but the truth is that your pin weight will probably settle in about 3300 when y'all hit the road. CAT scale is your friend.
