30' Heartland Bighorn 5th wheel 10,850 Dry & 14,000 GVWR
2006 Dodge 2500 4x4 with a 5.9 Cummins Diesel
My VIN plate says 9000 GVWR
Checking at the Dodge web site in their tow info, it lists my truck as:
8510 GVWR and says I can tow 13,500. If I want to tow 14,000, I should have gone to the 1-ton truck.
Anyway, I'm not worried about the diesel being able to pull it. This fall, I pulled a 25' moving trailer packed full of furniture, a piano, and the remainder of any entire household, over the rocky mountains. It never put the Cummins to task.
My concern is the whether or not the trailer will be pushing me all over the road.
Do I have enough truck for the job?
