Help please experts. My experience is limited so I hope to ask you guys to tell me if I missed something. I have a 2012 Ram 3500 Laramie 6.7 diesel 4x4 crew cab long box 3.73 axle. I would like to haul a fifth wheel but I don't think I can handle any real hitch weight. The scale yesterday told me that the truck weighs 7782 pounds and with a GVRW of 10100, looks like I have a max payload of only 2318. With 5th wheel hitch weights up around 2500 to 3000 pounds I am thinking I had better stick to travel trailers with their much lower ball hitch weights. This truck can pull but it just can't carry! Am I correct in my figuring or have I missed something? Thanks for the help guys!
