Until a couple of months ago we puled our 12,160 lb empty / 14,260 lb GVWR 331RL with a 2500 Ram diesel. We had and shorter, +2000 lb model from another manufacturer on order when we found our MHC and the wife fell in love with it. I didn't bother pulling the rig across CAT scales. I knew I was well overloaded for pin weight. We couldn't go up in load rating for the tires without changing out wheels as well and hated the squirrelly 20" tires sidewall flex. Found a nice slightly used 3500 Ram dually diesel to use instead. DW commented on first pull how much more stable the ride felt. As said in previous posts, crunch the numbers and do what works out best for you and your family, as well as your family's safety. Good luck!
