Starting in 2016 the needle diameter in the rollers were increased with less needles needed.

Unless you’re towing over 7k# E rated tires are unnecessary imho. If 20” the stock SL or going up to a XL ride best and will tow fine.

I installed Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in XL at 30k miles, air them to 36F / 34R cold and use this setting for towing 7k# trailer as well. I ended up using this air setting with the original equipment Bridgestone Dueler HL. Initially I was using 40-42 psi when new and after 10k miles the centers...

The chain links were worn 25% of link thickness and this equates to over 3/4” of extended travel using a 6 link spring bar setting. They don’t get lubed and to be expected. The replacement chain kit is inexpensive. Take a look at the inside ends of your chains and measure thickness with a dial...

I’ve only used a standard Draw Tite/ Reese WD hitch with 1000# bars and have worn out a set of bar chains and the hook end on the lift bracket of my set-up with many miles of towing. Some have that infinitely adjustable spring bar adjuster in the more expensive WD hitches which is excellent...

I’m towing #7k 24’ enclosed car hauler 10k miles yearly with a 2022 Ram 1500. Prior was the 2011 Ram. My trucks tow best with front of trailer up to 1” lower than rear of trailer, Never level. I use a standard equalizer (no sway control) to lower front of truck by 1/2” minimum. What you...

Just now I looked at the install instructions and says this “The installation process will take about one hour. The radio must stay on during this time”. Did it take this long to install?

This explains why your oil pressure is so high at 284* oil temp and 4600 rpm. @ 212* oil temp the oil is equivalent to 40w.

My guess is that the OP is possibly using a higher weight oil like 5w30 or more.

With the 2022 Hemi towing a 7k# enclosed car hauler through WV/VA on I64- I77 the most I’ve seen was 255* oil temperature traveling North and it was brief. When I towed the same route pulling same load with my 2011 Hemi Ram the max oil temp I seen was 220*….. same oil (5w20). Have towed this...

Did you use or do you think a 12t press would do the job? Or would the 6t be able to handle?

4ys, 58k miles, over half towing 7K# enclosed car hauler and the only problem has been the leaking rear window. Filled up the rear window gap with flowable silicon… Fixed! Haven’t taken it back for the two recalls and don’t plan to.

Yes, I’m looking at Laramie 4x4 and 33 gal not listed. Thanks for the heads up
