@FromThe3PointLine not at all...

@FromThe3PointLine 3/4 ton, no problem (hence the vid) 1/2 ton has a softer suspension in the rear, you would probably need overload springs or air bags to support the extra weight. Not sure the maximum trailer weight of the half ton but the 5.7L can be had in both 1500 and 2500.

@offroadram95 so if it was a 2500 3/4 ton dodge ram it would handle it with the same no lift 5.7L V8

[offroadram95]

@FromThe3PointLine I wouldnt try it without beefing up the rear suspension but after that, you could probably do it.

How did you know your prop was clear before you fired it up? Different launch ramps have different grades, many are curved. Still, a bad-ass boat with nice hull lines.

It's a big boat to be trailering around like that.

Looks like it can.
