So to continue beating the dead horse, I have a 2022 Ram 3500 Laramie crew cab long bed diesel dually. Here are the specs. GVWR - 14,000# GAWR Front - 6000# GAWR Rear - 9750# From the door sticker "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 5569#" From the truck camper document "Cargo weight rating (pounds) 4738" So this guy said the weight of the camper loaded was 6500#. No matter which cargo number you use from my truck, which is very similar to his truck, the guy was at least 1000# overweight, and close to 2000# overweight from the truck camper document. Not sure how his argument could ever stand up. 2022 Ram 3500 Dually Crewcab Longbed Cummins, 2019 Northstar 12 STC |

17,000 actually seems like a very reasonable figure to me. If that weight was all in the bed or on a fifth wheel/goose neck hitch that never would have happened. Theres a HUGE amount of leverage factor with that sticking so far off the rear end. |

The most amazing part of this is the owner is as much of an attention ***** as he is stupid…. Articles, FB posts, guy so dumb he doesn’t even realize he’s also publicly announcing his ignorance. You know, those old pics of the 2 different super doodys with the same camper and trailer? Bout the right timeline that this dipchit could actually have just scored the first broken truck hat trick! Same guy? I wanna start that rumor! 2016 Ram 2500, MotorOps.ca EFIlive tuned, 5” turbo back, 6" lift on 37s 2017 Heartland Torque T29 - Sold. Couple of Arctic Fox TCs - Sold |

And I thought this stupid thread just got closed…. But it was worth bringing up again? Probably posted by a Chevy Owner! Lol (We all know the Fjords snap too….but noone has captured a Like a Rock truck getting a case of the bends! Or the owners are slightly more intelligent and know better than to post “Look at my stupid human trick” stuff!). Hahahaha |

But thanks for asking. I discovers these cool little symbols like $ and # (not hash tag but lbs). Everyone wuz all talkin aboot weight, including the remainder of your post. Hence my cornfusion. Apologies. |
