That's well beyond ANY 2500 truck and some 3500 SRW trucks.

I'm surprised beeje is the only guy to mention this. I see everyone always talking about trailer weight, but not many talking about hitch weight or pin weight. I'm going with a DRW long bed because I can't have a giant slider hitch in the bed, and even though my rig is only a 33' (Mountaineer 337RET), the listed hitch weight is 2270lbs. and that's dry. I know that's heavier than others but I'm sure most of us, by the time we load the rig up as well as stuffing the truck full, are pushing the payload limit or exceeding it, unless you're into 3500 and especially DRW territory.
A 2019 RAM Diesel 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed isn't even rated to handle my hitch weight.
