Like this 2500I've seen a guy that would haul big heavy fifth wheels with a Ram 2500. Like you said, there's no way he is within payload. Add to the pin weight of the trailer, his aux fuel tank, tool box, and everything else he carries he has to be way over. How his company lets him get away with that, is beyond me.
Sorry if you're a member here guy, but I'm calling this one out. I saw this in my town yesterday. I looked up that trailer and a newer model the dry hitch weight is 2560lbs. This is the same reason I traded my 2500 in, because of payload, and I only had 488 miles on it.. Sad and expensive story. But that's why I joined this community and started this thread. I want to make sure they're is no more mistakes. I keep going back and forth between the SO and HO trucks.
