    I personally don’t think your truck has the payload to do it but the hitch that is designed for toy haulers is the “weigh-safe” hitch
    You can dial it in easily when the payload changes

    I would stay away from the Recurve R3. From what I have read, not a lot of people like it, and one thing I have a problem with, is in the instructions for it, they say to turn off your vehicles built-in anti-sway system. Had never heard of that before, and no hitch that I have had said to do that. Your vehicles anti-sway system only "activates" when sway gets to a certain point, it does not do anything prior to that. The system is also tied into several other stuff in your vehicle, and I see no reason to buy something that says you should disable a safety system on your vehicle.

    Just returned home to Phoenix yesterday from buying our Momentum 21G in San Antonio 975 miles. I have the Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi, also installed timbren springs for the weight. Towed fine, was worried from all of the post I have read. Cat scales had us right at payload capacity with no generator and 1/2 tank of water (50gallons), 1 battery and 2 full propane tanks. 6900lbs and 1300lbs tongue weight.
    We plan on getting 3/4 ton truck in a few years before retirement, Ram 1/2 ton is fine for us now. Hills were no problem, tested at different speeds up to 70mph, 62-65 seemed best for me. I used the Curt Tru Track 17501 hitch, up t 15k trailer and 1500lb tongue weight.
    We really like the trailer! Good Luck!Click image for larger version.

    Congrats on the new 21g. This definitely makes me feel better about it.

    Still want input? I picked up 2022 21G about 6 weeks ago and tow with 2019 f-150. Been to CAT scales a handful of times with and without toys. I can share weights.

    I pull my 21G through the Colorado mountains alot, and just landed in black hills SD for a stay. Your gearing, rear dif, will suck on extended steep hills. I run a 6.0 gas chevy 3/4 ton with 411 gearing and wrestle hard with mountain passes. GD advertised toung weights are way off, I wouldn't do 1/2 ton with this trailer for this alone. 3/4 ton suspension also helps with sway if your bars are up to the task. Just pulled through windy Wyoming passing big rigs with no issue. Not sure if all this applies to where you live, but I do wish I had a diesel for the roads I travel.

    We have a 2019 g21 and have played truck roulette. First , half ton Dodge 5.7, auto. Not enough pulling power up hills. Next f350 Ford v10. Couldn't maintain highway speed very well at all. Finally found a mint shape, 2005 Dodge diesel dually. Much happier, good. Mileage and no highway anxiety. We have generator and 2 bikes weighing 1400 lbs on board.

    All that HP and torque isn't going to help you to stop. BUT like some have said, its doable. If your within the truck specs after weighing it, even if its close to the max, I'd say your good to go! Especially with your driving experience I'd say your better equipped than most!!! Some (like myself) prefer a larger margin of "safety" in terms of towing near the limits of the tow vehicle so a larger truck will definitely give you that. Make sure you adjust the brakes on the trailer (mine were not adjusted properly on a brand new trailer) and be safe out there. Don't forget to have FUN and enjoy the ride!!!!!!

    I’m glad to read your report. I drive a 2020 Ram 1500 Longhorn and just purchased a 21G that I’m picking up tomorrow.
