congats RG My wife and were looking at his model and we fell in love with it but them i found out about the pin weight and had to give it up because my 1/2 ton would not handle it. What kind of TV do you have? Hope you enjoy your new toy and look forward to hearing about your mods

My tow vehicle is in my signature, but I wee I forgot to put "3500" in the description. I edit that, and thanks for pointing that out.

I have been towing a 15K Toy Hauler, and a 18K Scoreboard Trailer, so I'm in heaven with the 8289WS behind me, and the RAM is breathing a sigh of relief.

Can't wait to "tear into it". LOL That's my nature, and it drives the DW nuts. LOL

I do not know if I would say that, I know of 2 older members that have been pulling the same weight as that unit with 1/2 tons with no problem at all. You could email the OLDCOOT or DAISYBOYDKIN, they both tow with a 1/2 ton and they say no problem at all. I would say if these 2 guy's say that I respect there knowledge to say it's possible, I would think that they know what they are talking about. But again I do not know what if any mods they did to their TV. I have a 3/4 ton, but was thinking of dropping down to a 150, but as you said the pin weight is at about 1650lbs. I know that for sure because I did the weight with Dave_monica help. Dave can give you all that info> He is a guru on this stuff, and what he say's I would take it to the bank......
