Your zinger weights 7,734 Lbs dry and according to the towing specs on the 2017 1500 the towing is between 5,500-9,400 Lbs. Without weighing yours loaded; lets say your probably around 8,234(with 500Lbs of cargo)-8,534(with 800Lbs of cargo).Thats getting in the upper range. Adding steep inclines to that, I personally would say it would be difficult on the engine and transmission. 20 years ago I tried pulling a 28’ Jayco TT in the mountains of NC and had problems with the transmission slipping on a new 1500 4x4. Traded it in for a 2500HD 4x4 and it was a world of difference. I’ve never tried pulling anything again without a 2500 HD. Let’s see what others say. Just my opinion.
