1. Curb weight of the 1500 Laramie CC 2wd is ~5,360 according to Yahoo Autos.

2. I tow a boat w/ tandem trailer that is about 5,000 lbs with my 3.55s and 20s. Power is not a problem at all. It's the suspension setup that limits your towing. But, I love the ride of the new Rams, so it's worth it.

3. Towing your boat with a 1500 can definitely be done, but I'd get 3.92s and 17's. Otherwise look for a 2500.
