Towing pin weight
I have a 2015 Dodge Ram 6.4 Hemi with a 411 rear end . We are pulling a Forest River Flagstaff 8528 RKWS. Unloaded is around 7,200lbs or so and loaded up about 9,300lbs. Transmission is a A66RFE 6 speed. Dodge says for my truck : WITH THE DATA BELOW CAN YOU'LL GIVE ME A IDEA ON PIN WEIGHT AND IF I CAN PULL THE 3 NEW UNIT BELOW.
My : GVWR is 10,000 lbs.
My : payload is 3,610 lbs
My base weight is total 6,389 lbs
My GAWR IS front: 5,500
Rear : 6,000
My GCWR IS : 22,800 lbs
My MAX TRAILER WEIGHT RATING IS : depending on what you read: 15,940 - 16,320 lbs
We are looking at 3 new models :
1- WILDCAT MODEL 317 RL. PIN WEIGHT. 1,855. UNLOADED 10,595. LOADED 13,740
2- WILDCAT MODEL 327 RL PIN WEIGHT 1,815. UNLOADED 10,715. LOADED.13,810
3- COACHMAN CHAPARRAL MODEL 336 TSIK. PIN WEIGHT IS 1,880. Unloaded is 10,520. LOADED 12,200
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Me I don't see a problem myself, it look like that you will be within just look for 8 to 9.5 mpg. I have the same spec on my ram and also will be looking on getting something what you posted, but you will get that you need a diesel though.
The thing about diesel 2500 their payload is only 2,050 to 2,400 lbs so you will be almost right at the limit on those fiver but to me you should be good to go, this is what I'm looking to do in a few years.

Thanks Big1 we had a 2003 Dodge Diesel 2500 for 12 years. Pulling this trailer we were getting about 13 miles to a gallon. But with diesel fuel going up 2 years ago and the cost of maintenance we thought this would work for us. Pulling this trailer with this Truckee get about 11 miles to a gallon.

Well, lets see.
I dont see your scaled ready to travel weight?
I dont see the intended fiver loaded (gross) pin weight?
I dont see your scaled RAW?
So, based on those three missing pieces of information I dont see any way to say for sure you will be able to tow them without being overloaded.

This site has been close for me when I checked mine.
Estimating Tongue/Pin Weight from Dry Weights - Towing Planner
The only question I would have is that 3610 seems high even for a gas 3/4 ton. Did you get those specs from the website or are those on your yellow tag on your drivers door jam? The yellow tag on your door jam is the one you have to go by. You are still left figuring out what's weight in your truck like passengers, hitch, wood and etc.

Those numbers are going to be within a few hundred of his door rating. I have 2015 with the 5.7, and my payload is 1000# less than the 6.4....I'm at 2300 with a crew cab. The truck will be fine.
