Good to see you made your own choice, after reading the pros/cons.
Reminder: 1) Any trailer over 5,000 lbs needs a weight distribution hitch. 2) The RAM 1500 regular cab and short bed has soft rear springs. They ride nice, but putting air bags in the rear springs is a benefit when towing. Some people who tow a lot with that truck change rear springs and live with the slightly stiffer ride without a trailer. I have AirLift 1000 bags, and that is all you need, IMO. Link
