I need your advice please! Towing Capacity Exceeded
I suddenly have that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I ordered a 2015 Solitude 369RL and it is due to be here within a couple of weeks. I am trading my 2012 Jayco Pinnacle in on it. Here lies the problem... The hitch weight of the Jayco is 2460 lbs and the hitch eight of the Solitude is 2600. The max payload for my 2013 Ram 2500 4X4, is 2291 lbs. I realize I was exceeding it by appx. 150 lbs. with the Jayco but am now looking at exceeding it by 300 lbs. I did have the Onan 5K generator installed on my Jayco and will not have that on this. I now it is all relative to passengers, fuel, "stuff" etc. Should I cancel my order? Trading for a different truck is out of the question. I have no idea why I didn't connect the dots on this earlier. Anxious I guess.
Please note that I do not exceed the towing capacity. My truck is rated for 17,100 and the Solitude comes in at 16,000.
We travel on quality roads so jarring is not a concern. My truck has the Cummins and exhaust or"jake" brake. It pulled my Jayco (and stopped) without effort.
Help!
