Lots of threads about 1/2 ton travel trailer towing ability and weight limits, but no thread with just pics of Ram’s towing their campers.

Save the arguments for the other threads let’s just see some pics here!

How did it tow?

I'm considering purchasing the exact same model.
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 can swing it. Makes it a lot easier to change lanes, I mount the trailer camera monitor under rear view mirror.

I also have the 3.21 rear axle. So this is good feed back.

I will definitely get the rear camera. I hated being blind with the RV that I rented this weekend.

I'm also looking at the hitch with a weight distribution system.

One more question for you. Do you have air shock system or just stock shocks in the rear end?

What model Lance is that? We have a 2020 Lance 2445 and we love it. Bought it a year ago and have done nearly 40 nights in it as of last weekend.
It's a 2075. Sadly, we've not gotten to use it yet (aside from where we parked it.) We got it in December because the deal was really good and then started the truck search. I guess I didn't think it would take me 5-6 months to find/get a truck. 😄 We really like it though. It took us 4+ years of research and visiting RV shows to take the plunge so what's another six months?

My 2019 Limited arriving at the campground towing our Lance 2445. just a tick under 30' bumper to ball. Tows very nicely with our Andersen WDH once we figured out that we have to tighten the WDH's chains much more than we expected.

Glad to hear it tows well since ours is a little smaller and I've got the same WDH. Just lacking the truck at this point.
