I am thinking of buying a 5th wheel trailer to tow behind my ram 2500 HD Laramie does any one see a problem with this? Anything i should be concerned about? thanks.

 

Good luck! I'm looking to replace my '01 1500 SLT with a 2500. I'm trying to figure out what I need so I can get a 5er as well.

 

Nope not at all. Just have to install the hitch correctly.

 

Moved this to the 3rd gen section so you can get more views/replies/help.

 

I pulled a 30' 5th wheel with my 1500 for a while truck kinda struggled so got a smaller one but the 2500 should be good.

 

ensure the hitch is installed correctly, and that the hitch carries the pin in the correct location. IIRC, you try to have the kingpin sit no further than 5% of your wheelbase ahead of the rear axle - but absolutely never ever behind it. you won't get the built-in anti-sway benefits from a 5th wheel if it's mounted behind the rear axle.

if you are concerned about cab strikes, then get a sliding hitch, you can move it back for parking maneuvers and lock it up front for hiway travel speeds.

 

You'll need a brake controller to.

 

X2 with the slider hitch. i have one and it is easy to operate. My 2500 is a gasser and has the new hemi (383hp/400tq). no problems towing. We brough a 5th wheel back from Oregon and pulled thru the highest passes on I-5 and I-40. We weren't the fastest rig going up hill, but we made it. On level land, were turning 2100 rpm @ 65 mph. Our combined weight was 16400.
I'm guessing you have the 6.7 cummins so you can pull just about anything. I'm limited to 10,500 lbs. Good luck and welcome aboard.

 

shes a 08 2500 heavy duty Larame with 5.7 hemi. 4x4.
