I have a 2005 RAM 2500 Diesel w rebuilt motor and transmission that runs great and I want to buy a toy hauler to go far with. I've never done anything like this. How bad of an idea would it be to pull close to my weight limit? Dallas to Utah and back over a couple months. I have a new motorcycle I will put in the back of the toy hauler so should be fun. Thank you!
