    Really want to tow this trailer with a 2019 Ram 1500

    You are at almost 1100# dry weight? Have you weighed the rig loaded for camping along with everything you are taking in the truck?

    The 2500 is at the dealer and I can't pick it up until Saturday! I if the ACC is anything like the 1500 then you are probably ok if you are on a long, flat, straight section of road, I just find the system to be a little too abrupt for my liking. Yeah, there were several things 'promised'...

    Too particular about the paint on new Ram?

    I'm waiting to take delivery of my new 2500 sometime this week... I instructed them to not wash the vehicle. While the vehicle will be 'dirty', it isn't like it has actually been driven for any significant distance... it isn't so bad that you can't see any problem. When I picked up they 1500...

    When is FCA dropping SiriusXM from Connected Car capabilities given current disaster?

    The NAV system on pretty much every car I've driven in is crap...I bought it for the 12" screen. I just use Android Auto... I would never consider using the baked in NAV system.

    The ACC isn't anywhere near as smooth and seamless as the system on the wife's Fozzie...

    Really want to tow this trailer with a 2019 Ram 1500

    1000# overweight? Seems safe? How did he determine 'safe'? His butt safety meter? That's simply reckless. Hopefully he only takes himself out when he crashes....

    Payload and tongue weight? Is that dry weight or weight when loaded?

    Towing: Will the 1500 meet my needs or am I waiting for the 2500.

    I kinda see where you are going and @devildodge said it well. In as much as my Limited is a utterly fantastic ride, the payload at 1310# is pitiful. I will say that discussion about a travel trailer didn't happen until *after* we had the 1500 as it was not something we ever discussed...

    Towing: Will the 1500 meet my needs or am I waiting for the 2500.

    I did watch it.. he compared a 20 year old truck to a brand new truck, how can the 2019 *not* be better than a truck from 1999? He could have looked at the 6.7 in the 2019 2500, but honestly, the added weight of the 6.7 eats significantly into payload making the 3500 a much better option for...

    1999 vs 2019... really? He couldn't find a new 2500 anywhere to give a better review? Sorry, but this video is about useless...

    Is Blind Spot Detection worth it on 2019 Ram 3500HD?

    BLIS still works and covers the critical blind spot that is just to the side of your truck, IMO the mirrors are just fine for looking along the length of the trailer. Also you will likely get more responses over on the HD FORUM... come join us!

    Towing: Will the 1500 meet my needs or am I waiting for the 2500.

    I don't see anywhere stated that it can be disabled... not trying to be an ***, but are you following the instructions as stated starting on page 405 in the Manual on how to set up the WD hitch? If you are, then it sounds like you need a trip to the dealer...

    Towing: Will the 1500 meet my needs or am I waiting for the 2500.

    Not sure I'd call it good fortune... I've never leased a vehicle and have never had an interest in doing so... I'm happy to pay it off quickly and run it for 10-15yrs. The good thing is that it sounds like the dealer is wanting to work with you on a resolution and I hope you have the best of...

    A Comprehensive Guide to Towing with the 2019 RAM 1500 - Everything You Need to Know!

    For a very simple spreadsheet, you can use this one http://www.keepyourdaydream.com/payload/ No one is really going to tow anything dry... well, maybe the day you buy it and pick it up, but after that it will be loaded with stuff. I used the GVWR and used 12-13% TW based on someone's comment (I...

    A Comprehensive Guide to Towing with the 2019 RAM 1500 - Everything You Need to Know!

    Too many 'bros' with punisher stickers and short attention spans on most FB groups who only what to hear what they want to hear... I have yet to find a shred of useful information on any of those FB groups.

    What's the tongue weight loaded and your payload? How much weight on each axle?

    Towing: Will the 1500 meet my needs or am I waiting for the 2500.

    Sorry to hear that the 1500 isn't going to work for you, having run the numbers myself I kinda figured you'd be over, I was over and I have 100 more pounds to play with on the 1500. After a hard conversation, we went ahead and ordered a 2500 through a different dealer and it should be delivered...
