Reading the acritical it states that "the actual payload capacity of the truck in question is itself in question. While the max payload capacity for a 2020 RAM 3500 is 7,680 pounds (3,483 kg), that’s specific to the regular bed, long-bed model with two-wheel drive and a 6.4-liter V8 engine. The truck here is a crew cab 4×4 dually with a diesel engine which means that its payload capacity is probably closer to 5,850 pounds (2,653 kg)."
I would have thought the payload capacity of the dually would be higher than a regular 2wd version.
The more options on any said vehicle add weigh, as weight is added the net payload reduces as the GVW remains the same.
“I did a lot of research before buying the truck and the camper, and both the Ram dealer and the camper company where we bought it said it was the perfect truck… They said it should handle the load no problem.
I knew the payload capacity on the truck was about 7,800 pounds and the camper dry weight was close to 5,000 pounds, but fully loaded, probably about 6,500 pounds.”
I don't know what that camper was designed for, but my F550 chassis is twice as thick thru the middle as my 2500hd diesel pickup.What size truck do you guys think that Eagle Cap is designed to be mounted on? With that overhang in the rear, and the water and toilet in the rear area (as someone suggested), I would think that sucker is too big for ANY 1 ton truck. If that's the case, what vehicle did Eagle design that model for?
Agreed-it looks freaking huge! Hard for me to understand what the intended vehicle class they were envisioning with that monstrosity !I don't know what that camper was designed for, but my F550 chassis is twice as thick thru the middle as my 2500hd diesel pickup.
I would think it would need a 4500 or 5500 chassis. Think trucks with ten lug wheels....
It even looks a little too big for the F450 in the video above.
Probably something like this. Grocery-getter, in the walmart parking lot. The gal driving it was about 5' nothing" tall, and had to reach above her head to get to the door handle.Agreed-it looks freaking huge! Hard for me to understand what the intended vehicle class they were envisioning with that monstrosity !
