The key is aluminum trailers. I use to pull a stall stacker with a Super A Columbia and the stacker with 2 cars, golf cart and plenty tools and parts weighed 22,500 pounds. I was always blowing tires. When I went to Aluminum trailer, the total weight of loaded trailer dropped to 14,100 pounds. I also went to 17.5 H load and 82 speed rated tires. Not a single blow out since I switched in 2015. My total length is 79'

Weight and tire quality is my best suggestion when towing.

Nice set up

By itself, the coach tracks straight with very little occasional wheel input needed, but towing that truck, I am almost constantly working the wheel - not far in each direction, but it won't go straight for long - can watch it's mirrors in the coach mirror and the truck mirror moves back and forth... Have had it aligned and the shop said that because of the straight axle, it has more play. Never had that before towing a GMC Denali diesel pickup or various cars, but the Ram just doesn't settle down...
I've been entertaining a trailer and you are going the other way - lol...
If you do tow your Ram and get it to go straight, you'll have to let me know your secret...
Enjoy

I think there's something with your setup or truck. I have a 2017 mega cab 4 wheel drive 2500 RAM that I pulled from Baltimore to CA and back with absolutely no issues.
