I found a 2007 1500 4x4 Dodge gas truck that pulled in the past a 5th wheel farm trailer. I alway thought a 2500 or 3/4 ton could only do the job. This truck has 95,000 miles and selling for 20,000 dollars. Wondering if a 4X4 truck suspension is the same as a 3/4 ton truck?

No. Either they got lucky the suspension wasn't wrecked from being overloaded, or they only loaded it lightly.

It depends on the size of the trailer it pulled. A smaller gooseneck or 5th wheel it would be fine. Anything beyond that would be overloading the pickup.

It can be done, however I'd pass.

Price seems a bit high too unless it is a diesel.

That looks like a 3/4 ton mega cab.

I didn't think they. Add a mega cab halfton. Looking at the wheels, they look like they halve an 8 hole pattern. That indicates a heavier axle often found on 3/4 ton and 1 tons. GM had that for a while on their 1500HD...

Diesel not available in the 1/2 ton back then. Only this year they are doing it, only 1/2 ton to do so.

The dealer's Chat line told me it's a 1500 model and I check the dealer sales person anyway to make sure it's a 1500 or 2500.
