Towing 2020 20’ Bambi

[CKJack]

Should there be any concerns towing a 2020 Bambi, 20’ and 5000 lbs with a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie, 4X4, quad cab with 5.7 hemi? I have an equalizer weight distribution hitch to go with it.

No, It will do a nice job. If your Ram did not come equipped with a brake controller, add one, as it is required to activate the trailer brakes. Consider a light weight and modest WD and sway hitch, as it will improve ride and towing performance.

Thanks! Brake controller added!

Ok, consider adding a Eaz Lift Elite with friction sway control. They are quite effective and inexpensive at under $300. Or a nicer functioning and easy to use Andersen but more expensive and very intolerant of looseness and slop in the hitch setup. But you don't want any slop anyway for any system. Anyway both these systems are easy on the trailer and will provide improved handling and comfort while towing.

As others said, you should have no problems towing with that setup. I tow a 23 footer with a 1/2 ton GMC that’s similar to your truck in terms of specifications. The only thing I really need to watch is payload capacity (cargo plus passengers), and this limit forces me pack my tow vehicle carefully and occasionally transfer some cargo to the trailer.

To echo others...piece of cake for your rig. Up to few weeks ago my TV was Highlander w a jet chip, swapped out to a higher rated tires 103t oem to 107h, and use an equalizer hitch. 55 k miles inc 3x xc from OR. Towed like a dream.

Recently traded in the toy w/140k miles for a new Grand Cherokee ltd. Essentially same HP, but zero miles and a hitch actually rated to handle the TW of the older 20's.

Happy trails

Congratulations on the Jeep Bob. Bet you can’t wait to tow with it?

Congrats on your new purchase. Hope you enjoy your new 20 as much as we have enjoyed our 07 20'. We are towing with a 2015 RAM 1500 4 X 4 Quad Cab with Equalizer and have had no problems. They tow great.
