[quote source="/post/1933/thread" timestamp="1405048653" author="@vrvinmo"][quote source="/post/1931/thread" timestamp="1405036145" author="@stevepro"]Towed my 13 8.5x22 VRV with a '12 Ram 1500 with 5.7 hemi just fine. too bad I was at the payload capacity with the kids and stuff in the bed. I traded it for a ram 2500 and now got plenty of extra payload. My VRV without toys but will full gear for camping was only 5200lbs but a whopping 875lbs of tongue weight![/quote][p]I tow my VRV with an F150 and don't like the payload rating. I'm considering a 2500 as well. Could you tell me was it worth the upgrade for you? Can you talk about the how the new truck tows compared to the old?[/p][p]
[/p][p]Thanks!
[/p][/quote]Sorry, I know this is old but in case anyone else needs the info, even though the RAM 1500 towed the trailer just fine (no sway or anything) the Ram 2500 is just as solid plus I have an extra 900lbs of payload (or kids growing up) without hitting the payload limit. 1/2 ton trucks will run out of payload with a toy hauler before the towing limit is hit. Some people like to gamble, I don't.
