    How much does the trailer weigh? How much clearance is there to the Viper's wheels? Looks tight.

    All trailers are tight unless you have a lift gate type trailer. When we transport Vipers we get almost 2 inches on each side clearance.

    6500 lbs. Not sure on clearance, I just drive it in, strap it down, I don't have any issues. Maybe a few inches on each side? I strap through the wheels.

    If all ATC trailers have the same width there is plenty of room from the outside of the car's wheel to the inside wall when the car is tied down. Obviously this will matter where the car is tied down. The tight spot is between the trailer's wheels. As the car's wheels pass the trailer's wheel cover there is approx 3" per side. When my car is tied down, the sills are approx 3" from enclosure that covers the trailer's wheels.

    I would actually consider buying it if I had a more powerful pickup. My 2017 RAM 1500 only has a towing capacity of 10,100 pounds. If the trailer weighs 6,500 and you add the Viper, extra tires, tools, and stuff I would exceed that number. And I can't trade my RAM in as it is the same orange as my Viper, it looks way cool in orange. When I do tow the Viper on my Aluma 20 foot open trailer, I get people taking pictures of the Viper AND the pickup.

    You'd be fine. I have a 2500 with the coil springs which has about the same payload as your 1500. You would just need a weight distribution hitch or airbags to keep the truck from sagging. They payload on my 2500 is only 1900 lbs, they set these up for comfort more than capability. I bet your 1500 payload is very similar.

    What is the towing capacity of your 2500?

    Dodge says 14,850 but that's with a 5th wheel. They don't list bumper pull max. Our trucks will pull just about any weight behind them, it comes down to suspension sag from tongue weight. When I went to Nasa Nationals I was probably close to 15K lbs with all the stuff I was bringing. The rear sagged a bit even with the weight distribution hitch, but it pulled it like it wasn't there.

    His 5.7 hemi in that 1500 would be sitting about 3800-4000rpm in 4th gear at highway speeds with a trailer like that. It will pull it, but it won't be fun. haha

    I transport my Viper in a 22ft enclosed with a 1/2 ton truck. The trailer weighs in at 7200lbs fully loaded and my truck has to seriously work to maintain 70-75mph on the highway. Overdrive gears are a no go as these gas V8s need to rev to get to peak torque to sustain those speeds. This is where your Cummins comes in. Those diesels can pull that weight while cruising in 6th gear with that low end torque, and that HD frame keeps the ride settled. I want your truck and trailer

    My 2015 ram limited 1500 5.7 hemi with air suspension pulls my 28ft. toy hauler trailer (600 lbs tw- 10200 lbs ) without any problems. I have never needed to downshift to 4-5 to pull at 70mph on the level. Uphill (6% or so) my transmission does downshift to stay at 65. The biggest concern is stopping. Just my experience.

    Is your trailer a flat nose, the reason I ask, I use a 5.7 Grand Cherokee to tow a similar load with a V-nose and have no issues at all.

    Sorry for the thread hijack Arizona!

    I'm thinking the 5.7 has enough low end grunt to make the difference then. I have the first gen 5.0L in the F150. I have plenty of power to get going where I need to, but our highways are either 75 or 80mph around here and the truck constantly has to shift to 4th to hold that mph steady with 3.73s in the rear.

    For the record, before I got my Ram I pulled this trailer with my wife's GL550 which is rated at towing only 7500 lbs. I was at about 11K with it and it pulled the hills way way way better than my Cummins, but was nowhere near as stable.

    At minimum a dually, but still researching. Some say it's scary with a dually, others say it's no problem. Might have to step up to a medium duty truck like the F650.
    The aluminum ATC stackers are only 7K-8K lbs, but it's the wind/sway that dually guys say makes it a hairy ride with strong winds.

    I thought it’s not the going with the ratings, it’s the stopping of the weight that matter. ��*♂️
