If I end up getting a 30 foot AS, they can be upwards of 8900 to 10,300 lbs and the Nissan could tow it. With the Dodge Ram 1500 towing capacity of only 9,000 lbs I was going to have to go up to the Ram 2500 to get a Truck that could tow the larger trailers.
True, but it's usually your payload that limits what TT you can tow. That being said, I'm sure your engine isn't working nearly as hard as an ecodiesel would. With all the concern of modern diesels, to me, that would be worth more than the additional tow capacity.
