I've heard of people on this forum towing upwards of 5000lb for a good range of time. I'm sure a few of them could chime in here. I think @TooByFoor didn't have too good of an experience though
I think the only way you can (safely and legally) tow 9950lbs is if you weight 150lbs or less, and have absolutely nothing else in the truck. And yes, using WDH.They say you can tow up to 9950 lbs and i believe those numbers. Someone managed to tow 8500-9000 lbs but they did use a weight distribution hitch.
Towed 8000 travel trailer with a golf cart in the bed (extension ramps fabricated) Ram Rebel 1500 4x2 for almost 2 years up all hills around the Blue Ridge from Florida to Western NY.Thanks for the replies, and I'll check out the links! I am definitely getting a WDH for the trailer. The RAM website says I can tow up to 9950 lbs on this vehicle, but I find it a bit hard to believe.
Does your truck have factory air suspension, or did you use timbrens or bags? I tried this with timbrens and it rode horrible. What speed do you cruise at?Real World Towing.
Ram Rebel 1500 4x2 - towed travel trailer 6700Lbs dry weight, 9000GVWR with sway bar...etc. 500Lb golf cart in the bed (fabricated ramps for length), 2 persons in the truck. Extra items, weight in the Travel Trailer 300Lbs. A dozen trips to the mountains " steep grades
", beach, etc. No issues at all. Loved the setup.
I've recently switched to a 5th Wheel 8400Lbs dry weight, no golf cart.
These trucks will pull and stop with no issues. I'm confident with the the 9000-10000LB Ram posted tow limits for these trucks with the correct setup.
