If we were going further and longer, we’d need more gear, So I would I would want the payload to support that. Right now we don’t carry much gear with us in the camper or truck but I would expect that we would need more to support longer/further trips. The other is weather conditions...

Thank you! Yeah it’s at the upper end of a half ton’s capabilities, though it towed super well taking it home! We pretty much camp within a 4 hour radius (most of the time less), if we were going further or multi day tows I would upgrade to a 3/4 Ton.

Just picked up the new camper yesterday - Alpha Wolf 33BHL. Traded in a Sunset Trail 262BH. Interesting thing is that the the new camper is about 7’ longer however it seemed to be much more stable when towing. More tongue weight and better hitch setup is what I am attributing it to. Towed...

@RamCares - can you please check out this thread and comment/help on this? It seems all of our Factory Brake controllers are cutting out the trailer brakes at 15MPH and under...

FYI - just got home from a tow today, noticed this exact same problem with my truck as well. I have my systems set to light electric and gain set to 10.0 and still cannot get the trailer brakes to lockup at 20MPH. Seems to be OK stopping up to 15MPH but can definitely feel the trailer brakes...

Agree with with what others have stated above. Is the 7000Lb trailer the Dry Weight or the GVWR?? That makes a world of difference. I tow a Sunset Trail 262BH, 30' TT that has a 5600lbs Dry weight and 7500 GVWR - actual tow weight is about 6600lbs. My truck is similar to yours, and it...

We went on our first long trip with new Truck and TT, figured I would post up a quick Tow Report. Total round trip was 382 miles from Northern RI to Woodstock VT, according to the Trucks onboard MPG meter we averaged about 10.9 MPG towing. I was a bit concerned about how the truck would...

I purchased a TT last year dealer was throwing in the R3 for free as well, I choose to pay a couple hundred extra to move up to the EAZ Lift Trekker, which the dealership offered as there premium WDH with sway control. Both the R3 and Trekker are made by same company, CAMCO. I believe that...

New Sunset Trail TT about 5600# dry, 600# Tongue, 30' Length overall. Pic was taken as I was setting up the Trekker WDH

Just signed papers today on a 2019 Bighorn CC, 4x4 5.7, Level 2 equip, etc.... MSRP was 52,100. I negotiated dealer to 39,900 ( not including, Tax, Title, fees) which included the $500 incentive for going with the FCA financing, which I think was 5.57% for 72 months. In the end I decided...

Thanks! At dealer now..... i am at about 22% off MSRP. I Think I am doing ok..

I am in Rhode Island . Wow If I could get a similar deal in my area I would be signing the papers today.... I guess it just shows that it is possible.....

Hey All, doing some shopping for a new 2020 RAM BigHorn CC , Night Edition, 5.7 NON -Etorque with Level 2 Equipment. MSRP that I am seeing is 52k -53k. I am trying to negotiate with some dealers, however they are all pretty much at around 43-45 Sell price BEFORE taxes, Dealer fees etc...

Thanks for all the replies and the sanity check. What are your thoughts on the Rear end - should I go for the 3.92 or is the 3.21 "good enough" and maybe gets me a bit better fuel economy when not towing?

Hi All, Looking to purchase a new or Slightly used 5th Gen Ram to tow our TT would like a sanity check from folks with more experience. The TT is a Sunset Trail 262BH - Dry Weight of 5500lbs / Dry Tongue weight of 568 - The GVWR of the TT is 7100 Lbs which would likely put the tongue...
