Good day all,
I wanted to seek opinion on a truck we are considering for purchase. This truck - intended purchase is to tow our 26' 2015 Jayco Jayflight trailer. (4959lbs dry weight)
With wife and two kids in the truck and camping stuff like my beer, I expect to be towing and estimated 7500lbs. I won't load water tanks until we arrive at destination.
Truck info:
2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 V8 HEMI
My plan is to have air bags installed (electronic brake controller already installed) working with dealership to install as part of this deal IF we go for it.
Allegedly towing capacity is 10,000 lbs. this is going to be verified.
New to towing, would this be ok for a rookie?
Thank you all in advance!
Cheers
