RE: Campers
Sorry, I meant use that link to Dodge's payload site. Just click on your truxk and plug in the correct numbers. It will tell you what your restrictions are as far as weight. Length however is just whetever you can find in your weight class you are comfortable pulling.

RE: Campers
Well your truck will pull a very sizeable trailer,
THE REAL QUESTION is what is your goal on gas mileage?
The guy with the 33 footer (TRAILER), what is your average mileage on a GOOD day? And what is your average speed when attempting to get the best mileage.
I was very displeased when towing a 19ft upright campter with my 04 4.7L on a recent trip which was 600 miles roundtrip. I averaged 6.5 mpg and the total gas outlay was about 290.00. RIDICULOUS.
So I bought a popup and now with the new 07 4.7L I get 12 mpg cruisin at 65 miles per hour. www.trailmanor.com
Sure its an expensive trailer (which some would argue defeats the purpose of saving on gas) but it is more manageable to tow.
Goodluck

RE: Campers
You may have too much weight packed in the front of your camper. It needs to be balanced out some. I have not towed in a while, but I did for 15 years back in the day and did it all with a half ton truck completely stock. No problems. Red
