Hi again folks,
Thanks again for all of the responses. Some really good advice and opinions here which I very much appreciate.
On the possible 2500 upgrade - I heard from 1 dealer today, $8,500 will upgrade me to a nicely equipped brand new 2016 2500 SLT with all the options I need. Less than my expected $10k, hence i'm seriously considering it right now as it's a great deal on much more truck which will “future proof” us in case we go 5th wheel shopping.
That said, before I throw another $8,500 down, I'm going to go and hitch up and take the entire combo to the scales, as suggested as I too feel that it could work. I have actually towed a similar sized and weighted trailer with a 2011 Ram 1500 Sport, and I found it was pretty strong. You’re all correct that I’m “calculating” my weights here, but I have weighed my truck and trailer weights (separately), I have just not towed with it yeor weighed the two combined as a hitched unit.
Heading to the scales tonight....
