    Post Looking for new tow vehicle for Reflection 27RL

    I have a 2016 Reflection 27RL with a dry weight of 9995 & a hitch weight of 1516. I currently have a 2012 Ram 2500 5.7L with the 3.73 axle ratio and GVWR 8800. I am wanting a truck I can tow with and not have to be too concerned about weight, every time I try and figure out weight I get so confused. should I be looking at maximum towing weight or GVWR weight? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You should be looking at the max tow weight for the truck, and the max cargo carrying capacity for the truck.

    Cargo carrying capacity has to be able to cover the pin weight of the 5th wheel, and everything else that you add to or put in the truck.
