2022 2500 Big Horn 6.4L Crew Cab 4x4 6'-4" box, 3.73 axle ratio, 8HP75-LCV, anti-spin rear axle
My wife and I are looking to make the life change to RV'ing full time. Looking at other threads about towing ratings and loads I'm having a hard time being confident in our decision to order a 2500 to make this change happen.
What is the max payload of a fifth wheel people are towing with the 6.4l and the standard 3.73 ratio?
Since we are going full time, we are looking at a couple different manufacturers of 5th wheels and lenghts are in the 39-42' with GVWR from 13,000 to 19,000lbs. Just wanting to make sure the truck can handle whatever we get as we wont be moving around and pulling all the time, but enough so we are safe and not putting extra wear and tear on the truck.
My follow up question is, pulling that long and heavy of a 5th wheel, do you usually stop at the weigh stations or can these be ignored?
Thank you for the help
