It might be able to pull it, but I'm more concered about what the Toll will cost you going up I-93.
The towning capacity of the 1500's is around 7200lbs I think. That has to weigh at least 5000 all by its self. You would definitly need anti-sway bars and Load Leaveling Bars and electric brake controller. About a $1000 give or take..

Forget the tole money, what about the 3-4mpg you're going to get towing that thing?Originally posted by kip

What is the difference... Degsy is rich.. He only gets 10-12 anyway.

That's even better I forgot about that. I could just see it now "Degsy's racing in 10 min. where is he? (Phone Rigs) Hellow Hellow... Degsy where are you.... I ran out of money filling the truck up for the 4th time going up to the track, then the Toll people told me it would be $50 to get thru..... Can anyone come get me" .
I think the gross weight is a bit more than 5000 prolly closer to 7500. with al the gear, bikes and tools you'd prolly be close to 10,000 by the time you done loading. Time to move up to the 2500 series naturally with a "hemi"

Heres a condom. I figured since youre acting like a dick, you should dress like one too.
$1.50 each way. $0.75 for the pick-up, then $0.25 per axle for the trailer...Originally posted by kip

Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?
Yip, unfortunately that's a big weak spot with the 1500 Ram's...

hey degs,
when the shop buys your new ram cause they fugged the old one. get a 2500,, the 1500 might do it but im not sure, i know the hemi can take it....
look in your manual for towing caps...
lemme know if you need help i can call my boys at dodge and find out if you can do it with mods
Why You Gotta Be Like That !!
ZZZZZOOOM >>>>>>>SPLAT!
the only way to live
now that is a trailer ., danm ................................. you would be pimpin in that thing ., not that far away either !!!!
the tow rating on the 1500 ram is 7550 ,.., and the new 5 speed trannies are 10 times better than the older 4 speed that always blew up ...... [i am a chevy man at heart, but could not resist the hemi]
mine is a 1500 4x4 quad cab ., and it tows like mad ., but gets shitty gas milage ., as i do 75 most all the time with the damn trailer., and get like 9mpg ..... too bad those desiels cost so much .........
women ??!!

A couple of words....Loose the Dodge, and pick up a Ford F350 Powerstroke diesel. My dad got one, not much it can't pull...Decent fuel economy too.
If I had 40,000 I would have bought a deisel.. But I didn't and I am pretty sure Degs didn't either

actually, the GM Duramax diesle is the "top dawg" for the past 2 years Yeah, at a $7,500 option, i can't see it ever paying for itself in fuel savings, and once you hook a trailer to diesles, the fuel economy drops at the same rate as a gas motor.Originally posted by TLRMan

For what it's worth, my last 02 silverado 2500 2wd had a 10,200 lb tow capacity. DOT requires electric brake on any trailer with GVW of over 2500 lbs
No Derek, your truck will not safely tow that trailer
Yamaha
Well, for any consolation, dad's F350 is 3 years old, and went out the door for under 31k loaded with goodies, and a Fischer Plow to boot. The truck hasn't any problems since new, it just drives like a friggen buckboard, without a load in it...Got the Bulldog goodies in it, and pumping out over 650 ft/lbs of torque, isn't bad at all.
I wouldn't touch a GM with a 10 foot pole, I rebuilt more GM diesels than I wish to say....another reason why I got out of the trade....
How long ago was that? The new GM's are awesome and they have one of the quietest diesels going.Originally posted by TLRMan

The Duramax is unbelievabe. Ever work on a Duramax diesel TLR?

Nope, never worked on one...I hang up the automotive wrenches many years ago. I have heard that it is a great engine though....
Here's a little nibble of knowledge...You can't make a diesel run lean like a gasoline engine.
And only a diesel can use "compression braking", a gasoline engine can not. So when ever you hear someone say that their bikes or whatever, uses engine braking because of high compression, they are very misled.
I'm sure I could pull it without a problem.. lol. And as far as the diesels go the Cummins is the TOP of the food chain... lol. yeah the 47re had its weak points but the new 48re is the balls with the new 325hp 600ft lbs STOCK! We wont even go into how easy they are to pump up since these engines are way detuned for the pickup truck application they are in. Oh and the new Cummins is quieter than the powerstroke or duramax for those of you who can't take the noise..lol.
