Hopefully you folks can tolerate one more question on my projected 2018 Ram 3500 SRW Chassis Cab order! I've already got a new FWC Grandby flatbed ordered for it and yes, we travel "heavy"! I'm guessing with all our crap, extra water, etc we'll be at a 3,000 pound plus payload. So here's the deal...
Evidently I can order the Ram with a GVWR of 10,000...payload of 3830# OR a GVWR if 11,000...payload of 4830#. I lean toward the higher payload but...
A) Am I going to have legal issues being over 10,000# and entry stations? I don't want to have to "weigh in" at each state we come to...
Will the higher payload translate into a substantially rougher ride loaded? (I don't really know what the ride will be like on a "loaded" one ton truck.) The Grandby will be bolted on permanently so as Sioux says it really isn't a pickup- it is a "go anywhere RV"!
Many thanks!
