I think those clamps are too small. I used 7/8-1”. The hose inside diameter is 5/8 but the outside of the hose is much larger.

I weigh my rig at the beginning of most long trips including the cross country trip earlier this year. That trip was with my previous truck (2015 Ram 1500). Trailer axles were 5980 on that trip, that’s an all-time high but also the longest trip we’ve done. Door sticker truck payload was 1675 and...

Yeh, those Hensley hitches May eliminate sway but they also weigh ~200 pounds and that is tongue weight as well (and any cargo behind the rear axle). Further reducing available payload. At least with a travel trailer, in my experience, less than 10% tongue weight is just not attainable. I have...

I understand where you’re going with this but my experience is with travel trailers. In the travel trailer world, most all trailers will start well above 10% tongue weight dry and have generally more storage space forward of the trailer axles. So in the real world, 10% tongue weight or less...

The class IV receiver on the 2019 1500 has 1100 max tongue and 5000 max recommended trailer weight for conventional towing. 1275 max tongue and 12750 max trailer weight with weight distribution. These are the ratings for the receiver itself not necessarily for your truck.

Had my windshield tinted with 3M Crystalline 90 and the two front windows tinted with Crystalline 70. Crystalline is 3Ms most advanced film, great heat and UV protection without needing to be dark. Windshield cost $180 and the front side windows 160 for the pair. No additional tint in the rear...

Some things I noticed when setting up the weight distribution on air suspension vs coils. I couldn’t use my previous settings on the WD hitch at all. Needed to start from scratch on the WD setup. I would recommend you do the same, from scratch. The air suspension caused the truck to ride 2+...

My 2019 with air suspension tows noticeably better than my 2015 with coil springs. Same trailer has been towed 13k miles total between the two trucks. Air suspension is very stable, less porpoising, easier to setup/hitch/unhitch. Never had a sway problem with either truck.

Long bed is 60lbs

33gal tank and added fuel is 73lbs more than the 26gal, more than 73 if the vehicle would have been equipped with the 23 gal tank as standard. ORG is 119lbs. Full size spare tire, 1”lift, heavier shocks, heavier tires and skid plates.

To those that can’t hear their MDS kick in, do you always drive with the radio on? I can’t imagine that you never hear or feel it. Very noticeable to me. Same with 2 other RAMs that I test drove before buying this one. I do drive much of the time with the windows up and the radio off when...

Bigger truck (2500) or smaller/lighter trailer. Be safe not sorry. Your truck will tow that Octane but you won’t be happy doing it. You’ll likely be over payload and GCWR. Don’t look at trailer dry weight, it will always weigh more. Nobody goes camping with an empty truck and trailer. Look at...

Not understanding your post. You said you get better mileage with 87 (17.5) than with 89 (18.5)? But it 17.5 is worse than 18.5, right? I’m missing something.

Time doesn’t always show on my 12.1, like when using apple CarPlay and maybe when taking a call on Bluetooth.

Check arrived August 9th...time to go shopping

Doesn’t it also drop like a regular tailgate?

It’s a valve. You can open and close it easily with your hand. You also have the option to leave it cracked open just a bit to allow some coolant through. Haven’t had fogged windows yet.

Maybe because the 15 has a belt driven fan and the 19 only has an thermostatically controlled electric cooling fan?

The factory thermostat is ~203 so don’t expect it to run any cooler than that. On mine I see 204-217 in normal driving. I did see 227 while towing uphill. I’m not looking at it all the time though.
