I purchased a new 1/2 Ton RAM truck last year, because my old RAM was getting tired, and had a pathetic towing capacity. With my current setup, I am wondering two things:
1. Is a weight distribution system needed in this scenario?
2. If so, what brands/types do I look for?
Here are the numbers:
- 11,400 lb truck tow capacity
- 7,000 lb trailer capacity
- 1100 lb trailer weight (Aluminum)
- 4600 lb Jeep
- 600 lb average tongue weight
FWIW, I haven't felt any weirdness when towing, but am not opposed to making improvements, if needed.
