consider this I built a 2018 ram 3500 dually 6.4L hemi. crew cab 8 ft bed and gvwr of 14000lbs. only in this config can it safley and reliably do the job. tradesman trim included fith wheel 20K hitch,concience group heavy duty alt and a tonno cover. jersey tax and tags over $7200. for 49000.00. this config can tow 15,950lbs. If you want a used truck check the vin number on fith wheel street website, you enter the vin # and get the answer instantly what the truck is rateed to tow. With the ram i saved 20,000 on the purchase I save 60 cents a gallon on gas and i get oil changes for $119.00. I am on a trip right from New Jersey through Hilton Head island. And all over florida. Averaging 8.5 MPG and nevery had to go under 60 on any hill. Just one thought if it is an emergency like a storm that would be the worst time to have a too weak truck.
