    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    No where near maxed out, door jamb shows 1527 payload for the truck and I think the trailer capacity is 11,426lbs. Well within limits on both.

    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    Correct, I am only comparing them as tow vehicles and people who are looking to tow north of 9,000lbs or even 8,000lbs should really look at the 2500 and 3500 or a lighter, smaller trailer. I knew going in that I was definitely going to sacrifice my towing ease by going with a 1500 and...

    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    Looking at a new Gen 5 - options questions

    The entire etorque package adds 100lbs to the truck, not sure if there is a payload hit. It seems all eTorque articles actually point there being a slight bump in payload when equipped. Replacement battery if it ever needs replacing $1250, but it is an LG Chem and will probably outlast the...

    Ram is the Fastest Depreciating New Truck?

    I don't get where they get some of the values from and motorbiscuit is junk journalism only done to lure you to the site for traffic. They (motorbiscuit) never cite the source of their stats like any reputable media outlet would, so it becomes sensationalism at its' best. For resale value, I...

    Removing Road Salt

    I use Eastwood's Road Salt Neutralizer every spring after our first few rains. I hook it up to the dispenser on my power washer and use the undercarriage washer attachment from Home Depot.

    New member - picking a trim to buy.

    Reading through your list of wants and must haves, I would say you are looking for a Laramie with the ORG and all of those options that you want. When the Rebel first debuted it had options that were only on the Rebel and over the years everything but the front skid plate have been placed in...
