Made the upgrade

Tow vehicle:

Started with a 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins. Which had a GAWR Rear of 6500 Lbs.

Well, My truck coming home from an AZ run on the CAT Scale had a rear axle weight of 7000 lbs. So I started removing weight in front of the axles and added a cargo carrier to the rear hitch of the Montana. Helped but did not solve the issue.

Moved to a 3500 dually, solved the issue and provided extra towing ability. The added benefit was a much nicer new truck for my future full time RVing adventures.
