This has been a problem I have been chasing ever since we picked up the TM. I just located the GCWR for our Dodge RAM 1500 Crew Cab today. With the weight of the truck, plus cargo, and the TM; 8000# GCWR may be pushing it. When we returned from Ft Worth the TV/TM combo seat of the pants felt fine. Plenty of braking, acceleration was fine and RPM and MPG were the same as what we got towing the pop-up. While loading up for this years trip I have added the weight of a 10 foot jon boat while at the same time reducing what I carry in the back of the truck. But until I get everything loaded and weighed I won't know really where I'm at.
