Just looking for thoughts and opinions on this setup?
Truck: 2021 Ram 3500 Crew Cab Chassis 60" CA (Truck) (Build Sheet)
Chassis Mount: 12-16 hole Dog Box (Dog Box) 3-4K lbs
I've got a used Chassis Mount Dog Box semi locally that's be coming off a 3rd Gen 3500 dually. I'm totally ignorant on how a bumper pull trailer hitch gets attached to the chassis frame, I assume a bolt on hitch that will probably have to be custom to fit with the dog box. Am I going to lose some factory towing capacity based on how far back the hitch is located? Is there a common dimension that is referenced from say the axle to the hitch ball?
Not much more money to go to the 4500 is there a downside to at 4500 vs 3500 besides a stiffer drive? I'd probably want to have the ability to pull a dog trailer or Toy Hauler of around 8-10K lbs.
Am I going way overkill?
