I've looked all over and keep getting different answers so I hope this is the right place to ask. I have a 2008 Ram 1500 QC with the 5.7L Hemi, 3.92 gears, and tow package. Trying to decide between three different campers and just want to make sure my truck will pull any of them. Camper A weighs 6300 dry, 7600 loaded, hitch 725. Camper B weighs 5100 dry, 7500 loaded, hitch 590. Camper C weighs 5500 dry, 7500 loaded, hitch 560. I'm pretty sure my truck could pull any one of them but just want to make sure. And a little about our camping habits....most trips will be less than 100 miles from our house. We don't primitive camp. So we will never fill our tanks so I'm figuring weight of each camper at about mid-way of dry/loaded weights. Once maybe twice a year it will make a trip through the mountains of East Tennessee. Thanks in advance!

 

Are you talking 5th wheel camper or tow behind camper.

 

Travel Trailers. Sorry I didn't include what kind of camper. I will also be getting a weight distribution hitch and brake controller from the rv dealership.

 

You'll be fine with any of these campers. You're set up is exactly like mine, and I pull a 5000lb dry trailer, about 6700 full. Just expect next to nothing for gas mileage!!

 

None of those should be an issue. I have your same truck specs (2007 though) and pull a 6500 lbs trailer and 4 people all over the mountains here in Utah. I can say, be ready to buy gas though. I average about 9 MPG while towing. Heck, my gas bill more than doubles between April and October.

Side Note- try dry camping. Much prettier scenery, less noise and people.

 

I tow as well travel trailer 8k loaded. pulling in mt's of Oregon 8. flats 10. I had mine re-geared last year, specifictly for towing. Mine came with 3.55. I run 33's and went with 4.56. However you should be good, your not going that faar that often. Good luck, enjoy that new camper.
