Cheers Kenny, very useful info. Yes, I thought 1500 was 1/2ton. Still trying to find my way round the truck and getting to grips with some of the US terminology. It's running 17inch alloys but not sure if springs are heavy duty.Well the standard in a 1500 truck is 1000 lbs US or .50 tons. But this can be increased by adding heavy duty springs, shocks, or several other ways. I have put over 2000 lbs US in the back of my 93 1500 WT with OE springs, ext. when I had it. The real issue is stopping the truck with the added weight. Also your rear end gears play a big roll in getting the load moving, and climbing a hill. Your tire size also plays a roll in pulling power. If the truck pulls the camper down the road well, and stops good, that is what counts.
