Well the correct Ram 3500 SRW may have enough Payload to handle the possible pin weight, should have stepped up to a DRW that 5er will be close to payload once 5er is loaded, and stuff is added to the TV.
I just had to convince my DD that for her new four horse slant with living quarters all aluminum trailer while it only has a 12,000 GVWR the wheels are very near the rear of the trailer, she really needed a DRW.
We pulled it home from Medford, OR with our 2001 2500, we stopped for a quick scale check and had 10,400# on the TV, the normal empty weight is about 7,800# so empty about a 2,600# pin.
