Towing with a Ram 1500 regular cab short bed

my latest tow rig 02 f350 4x4 PS Diesel dually
no problems towing anything, including the
43' stacker/2 car inclosed Featherlite I had for a while
sold it/traded it in on a Maverick only owned for a couple month
that was traded in for a Gladiator Rubican Launch Edition 4x4 package
neither of which I'd ever consider to tow much of anything with

Honestly both my old prior, a 95 Dodge Power Ram & 98 Dodge Power Ram,
both with 5.9ltr 12-valve Cummins turbo, both 4x4, both had 350k + when I sold them
both were far superior, towing (& in 4wd), even lifted with Q78 35"/taller tires 4.10:1 gears
no lack of power/torque

I have towed my 68 RR on a 16' aluminum open trailer
no problems
with the 99 Dakota SLT 4x4 w/tow package w/trailer brakes, 5.2ltr Magnum-46RE/T/F
a bunch of bolt-on BS, AEM air box/Gauze filter & 4" intake tube, swirl spacer under the TB
1.7:1 HS rockers & a Hypertech tuner, 3" cat back Delta 50 Series Flowmasters, 32x11'' tires
3.54:1 gears/9.25" (I want to do the 3.92:1 swap, front & rear)
Just take it out of lock-up/OD going up hills...
Albeit, it only has, it just turned over 61k miles a few weeks ago, not bad for a almost 25 y/o truck
