Perfect. Appreciate the help from everyone. Doesn’t seem like the 8,600 lbs will be a problem at all for bumper pull and well under limits. Just wanted to understand how it is all figured out and why I was getting so many answers and this did that! Now I’m not guessing what is allowable and...

Can I be a pain and ask what math was used to get to this number? The dealers I talked to were all over the board. Appreciate it.

Got it. I noticed most of the published pin and hitch weights seemed really low. I will go with 23% for a fifth wheel and 17% for the hitch but ultimately looking at the ratings. Looks like any of the 26-30 ft travel trailers I’m looking at will be an issue. The one the wife likes is 6,080 dry...

Registered on the 1500 forum on accident so doing it on the correct site here. About a month old 2500 Laramie Night Edition Cummins. Last Ram or truck I owned was 22 years ago. Last kid just moved out so spoiled myself a bit. Looking forward to this truck for years to come!
