New '25 1500 SST, Hurricane and 3.92

[Hepcat]

Hi there! I bought a new '25 1500 Laramie with a Bison Brown and Salt interior, Rambox bed, the new Hurricane SST, and a 3.92 rear end to tow a '22 Airstream 27 FB. I also have a '22 Jeep Gladiator with the 3.6 I was towing a 23' Airstream FB with, but it wasn't enough truck for the new trailer. I bought the 1500 from Lithia Dodge in Santa Fe NM and drove it home to Iowa, putting 1100 miles on it in four days and getting a good break-in period before I go get the new trailer next week.

Congrats on your new Ram! The towing capabilities and comfort will make your trips even more enjoyable. Can't wait to hear about how it performs on the road!

Nice, I just took delivery of a 25 Laramie with rambox's as well but went with the black interior. I almost went with the salt/bison option but wasn't sure how it was going to look in person. How do you like your color choice?

I am really pleased with the interior color choice. I'm really tired of black and gray interiors. The brown doesn't heat up like the black, and the "salt" colored seats actually stay quite cool.

I have one 1100 mile trip now towing a 5400lb 23' Airstream from eastern Iowa to a dealership in Columbus OH and a 6300lb 27' Airstream back home. The truck acquitted itself nicely both directions. I could tell the difference in the weight, but the trip was smooth and without issue. That inline 6 is an amazing engine. It towed the 27' trailer mostly in 6th and 7th gears up hills and 8th on the flats. I'm really pleased. I'm currently towing with a Blue Ox hitch, but I think I'm going to swap it off for a ProPride 3P. Despite adjusting the hitch, there was enough trailer wiggle in 20mph side winds that it caused me a little concern. I already have the ProPride in my garage, so it's just a matter of bolting it on.

We're heading to Chicago next Friday with the trailer, so I'll have another 600 mile round trip under it's belt by Monday next week.

The propride hitch is worth every penny. $3,500... I didn't worry one bit pulling my 25 ft camper running 70 mph.
