    Towing help for new 1500 purchase

    that i do yes. 1500 is such a nice ride especially when empty. with air bags and the good wdh the 1500 should be great especially on mainly flat ground and the few times i go out of state or into elevation it should work. my rv is 7400 dry and 833 tongue but with right hitch i can help keep...

    Towing help for new 1500 purchase

    I owned a 2014 1500 and loved it. The 2500 wont be a full daily but used a few times a week. I purchased a 06 toyota 4runner last year that i use daily to beat the hell out of and rack up miles since you cant kill those old engines and are so easy to work on. as ive stated earlier in thread Id...

    Towing my 32' travel trailer

    I plan on it. I got the camper for free so cant pass it up. Picking it up on nc next weekend with a diesel truck and getting it weighed on way up to verify that it but have all the specs and since it’s a ultra lite numbers all seem to work

    To give an idea on the lite version your 22 you said is 6500 I believe. This 32 is 7400. Not much for 10feet more. I decided against offroad package too just don’t need it. Wdh and airbags and road range e tires is all I need. I’d be paying for a package to say offroad on side which I don’t...

    I never keep factory tires. Always use a e rated fire on all old trucks. Your it far off from mine with 7400lb trailer and 833 tongue so I’m under on all numbers when I crunch it snd will have good heavy duty wdh and air bags installed. Most trailering will be 10miles from my house to...
