I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Quad cab, 5.7 engine. I made sure it had a tow package, I upgraded to powered folding tow mirrors from Infotainment. It was pricy, but those folding mirrors have saved me a few times, so for me. They're worth the costs. I don't use a weight distribution hitch. I've never had swaying issues, but if I did, I would add it. Besides having enough power and torque to tow any trailer, make sure your tow vehicle can stop your camper in an emergency. Don't buy a tow vehicle that just meets yer towing needs. We all over pack, if you exceed your tow vehicle limits, you could be out of luck in your insurance covering repairs or the warranty repairs. Just read about a guys frame cracking because he didn't do his research and listened to dealership. He's facing $17K out of pocket costs to fix the truck.
This site and the good folks on it are happy to help answer yer questions. Browse the other sections within the forum, lots of great info. Braking questions, how much weight
What every you get, add that info to your signature block. Saves folks from having to ask which model, version, or mods accomplished. Sorry for a way too long answer. Again, good luck.
