    Shuddering Sound Dodge Ram 1500

    Egarcia23!, I was experiencing the exact same thing in my 2021 1500 and the dealer noticed moisture in the rear differential. Draining, flushing and refilling with new fluid solved the issue. Good luck!

    4WD auto?

    Note that 4wd Low should be limited to 25 mph max per the manual in the US at least.

    What does everyone do for a living?

    Oil company in Houston. Retiring early 2022 after 36 years. They sent me all over the world and I’m fortunate for the experiences but looking forward to the next chapter.

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    Agreed. I find that the sound varies by source. From worst to best: Bluetooth, SiriusXM, AM/FM, CarPlay. It’s subjective and I’m sure others will disagree. Also have no experience with Android Auto or use of flash drive media.

    A4Owner, may we ask where you will be enjoying this Ram 1500? My guess while probably wrong is Sweden

    Towing with 2020 Big Horn 5.7l and 3.21

    No airbags on mine. Just a weight distributing hitch. The rear dropped 1” and the front did not change, it eliminated the rake, that’s it. I tow a similar GD trailer with a gross weight of 6995 pounds.

    Towing to Alaska - 5.7, 3.21

    Makes sense. Thanks. I live in SE Texas too. I travel/tow to the Saint Louis area a lot. There are hills going north towards Texarkana. Trans drops down to 3 occasionally. Mostly it runs in 4th and 5th. And more hills in to Missouri. Nothing too strenuous though takes a toll on mpg. Seeing...

    Towing to Alaska - 5.7, 3.21

    Oldphart, can you share you average driving speed while towing and fuel economy while towing? I tow a similarly sized/weighted TT with my 2021 Laramie 4x4 w/3.21 and 33 gallon tank. Driving at 65 mph I averaged 8-8.5 mpg. Thanks!

    Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

    Love this trailer. No issues towing. No sway. Minimal porpoising. Using a Curt WD hitch with 800-1200 pound bars. I typically run at 65 mph but still could pass at 75 mph when needed with power to spare. Fuel economy was not stellar, averaged 8.5 mpg. Get the rear camera on the trailer if you...

    Hitch Steps

    Possibly, I have to turn off the rear sensors when my hitch is installed or listen to the incessant beeping when in reverse. You won’t know until you try it. Good luck!
