Hey all i was wonderin if yall could tell me if my Truck can handle pulling a 1500 pound trailer with about 1500 to 2000 pounds of scrap metal on the trailer about once or twice a week my truck has the tow package on it and so fourth and the trailer has two axels... please let me know i do not want to do any damage to my truck thanks

 

Should be fine, just don't exceed the tongue weight or the maximum towing capacity of your truck. You might invest in some helper airbags but other than that you shouldn't have any problems.

 

Hell yeh it will handle it. If you'll be towing 3500 lbs, you might want to check into some trailer brakes and a controller, though. I can pull 8200 lbs with my 04 with the tow package and tow about 7k several times a year (30 ft. RV). But I have a brake controller and my trailer has brakes.

 

Shouldnt have any problems at all. I will be towing my mustang often and up to 10k lbs of christmas trees next winter. Some guys tow 10k pounds on a regular basis, 3-4k lbs would be a simple. best of luck!

 

it would handle twice that with no problem

 

that's baby weight for a ram

 

Sh*t, I pulled close to a 3000# bass boat to tournaments all over Georgia and Alabama for a little over a year after I sold my diesel p/u before purchasing another full size V8 with a Dodge Raider 4x4 short wheel based SUV with a puny little 3.0 V6 in it. Pulling the boat and gear even up slick ramps was not an issue for it at all even though it only had a max tow rating of 3500#. Now stopping was a different story, unlike my 1999 Javelin, my '94 didn't have trailer brakes.

Your Ram won't even break a sweat pulling that...

 

I pull that almost every week and that's with an 03 with a 4.7 with 175k miles on it.

 

Thanks to all for the help i figured it would have no problem... just double checking... my truck is my pride and joy and i would hate to mess it up thanks again
