Payload and hauling heavy?

[RamFan]

So lets be honest....they payload capabilities are put in place for safety. Lord knows the frame is stronger, same brakes as a 1500 limited, more power and can definitely handle the weight.

Im sure the engineers put in a pretty big safety margin in those figures. Im not saying to go crazy but if you went a bit over....I guarantee nothing will happen. With the big squishy tires and soft suspension...it pulls our boat more comfortably than our Longhorn did with the amazing air suspension and that had a greater tow capacity.

Just be smart about it and dont drive it like you stole it when hauling or towing anything and youll be fine.

Well shit....no drag racing with the 8500lb boat & trailer hooked up?

I ran my RHO with two dirt bikes in bed and also ran it with two bikes on the hitch carrier...it squatted but added the airbags and that was all gone. If I was only ever running Dirt bikes or maybe 400lbs of tongue weight I wouldnt have done the bags, but I was running max payload 1300lbs+ with Travel trailer/gear family and it was basically 1 inch from the bump stops. That issue was gone with both the gen 1 and gen 2 Timber grove airbags on the RHO.

I tried to snap a pic but yesterday watched a trx drive by my house, had a 20 foot bumper pull flatbed behind it with a bigger skid steer on it. Honestly wasn't too squatted but definitely loaded down! Looks to be at least 10k he was towing. Sketchy.

He had white hair so had to assume boomer. Lol
