Towing Capacity Issue?
Hi folks,
We are in the market to upgrade our 5th wheel (2006 KZ Durango), and have fallen in love with the Momentum 385TH. One of the challenges we are trying to work through with the dealer is the towing capacity of our current truck (2011 dodge 3500 DRW mega cab short box), looks like we are only rated tow 13,000 lbs and the 385th weighs 15,000lbs dry.
My question is, do I really need a 4500 or 5500 series truck before I can legally tow this unit, and if I choose to proceed with the purchase using my current truck, do I risk being uninsured if we were in an accident?
We really love the unit and want to make it work, but can't upgrade the truck and 5th wheel at this time.
Any feedback / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Shawn
