Weight Distribution For A 2019 Ram 1500
Question:
QUESTION REGARDING THE RAM 1500 TOWING CAPABLIITIES. I HAVE A 2018 28 FT PUMA. WILL I HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH TOWING THIS TRRAILER
asked by: John
Expert Reply:
The Ram 1500 if equipped with the 5.7, has a tow capacity of 12750lbs. The 2018 28ft Puma has a gross vehicle weight rating of 8000lbs so as long as your Ram has the 5.7-litre you would be under the max tow capacity for the truck. I would recommend a weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW Item # FA92-00-1000. This system comes with the shank however, you are going to need a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-3/4" Long Shank - Chrome - 20,000 lbs Item # 63840.
