Well I got back from South Dakota in good shape, but boy did I learn some thing's along the way. First off, I was told I would have no problem towing my Toy Hauler(not by anyone here) with my 05 Dodge Ram 1500. WRONG!!! It has the towing package, 5.7 HEMI, class 4 hitch and I purchased a quality weight distributing hitch. That being said my Toy Hauler has a GVW of 10,000lbs that is way too much for this truck, I thought I would be alright ( I was told , NO PROBLEM), WRONG again. The truck has enough power but it was constantly shifting trying to find that power to pull the trailer. The 1500 is just not heavy duty enough. On some tanks of gas I got maybe 5 or 6 miles to the gallon, if I was lucky....Lesson learned. Today I purchased an 06 F250 Crew Cab, with the Power Stroke Diesel.
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks for the help previously.
