I tow a 6000# 28' travel trailer with my 1500 ram. the whole rig with me and fuel weighed in at 11540# with 620# of it on the hitch. pulls well from a stop and brakes are great...my trailer has 4 wheel brakes...but is a load for sure. I added Helwig sway bar and I add some air to the rear tires...

mine is at 5960# with me (225#) and 1/2 tank of fuel.

It is a 2017 coachman freedom express 246RKS. It has all aluminum frame and heated/sealed underbelly and ducted a/c and 4 wheel electric brakes.

This is what we have. 28' long. hitch 550#. wt. about 6000# when on the road. the 2019 ram 5.7 hemi with 3.92 rear end pulls it great but I dont think I would want anything longer.

yes the payload numbers are usually the limiting factor. mine is only 1324# so I have to pack light. I went CAT scales and had everything weighed. 550# on the hitch with trailer hooked up...

I am curious about this myself as I accidentally slid a cd into the slit between the console and the cd player. it was night time and I was in traffic so I missed the cd slot. now the cd is down under the dash somewhere and I cant get it out without removing the console. I am hoping someone has...

I would say get the 3.92. that's what I have and the truck pulls my 6000# travel trailer great. you can add air bags later if you want. there are many after market ones to pick from. my son added rear ones to his 2017 ram for under 100$

my nephew had a 2016 tundra 5.7 4x4 with the 4.30 rear end. it pulled great but got 7-8 mph towing and had a small gas tank so he had to stop often. I think the newer ones come with 38 gal. tank so range is better. they pull great but like the rams they have less cargo capacity so he traded for...

I have towed my travel trailer a couple times with my new truck. it has the 20" oem wildpeak all terrains. longest trip so far in this truck DFW to palo duro canyon..350m each way. I put a few more pounds in the rears and I stay right around 69-70. tows great. my 28' trailer is about 6000# when...

one of those roll-up dense foam mats like for backpacking and a sleeping bag would be handy. I have a friend who is able to get a cpl. hours of nap on long trips while his wife drives by sacking out on the back floor. handy on those 13-14 hr. drives from DFW to Durango or Breckenridge for skiing.

I have used my phone to do remote start and unlock. I think that app has some other features too. I have sirius but I dont remember if you have to have it for the phone app to work.

in the old days it would just mean swapping out the innards of the rear dif. probably stiil doable today but might be pricey

that does look good. my son may trade his 1500 for one as some as they are available to check out

It shouldnt be that hard to put the wt. info into the mfr's build app. so that folks shopping online can see capability numbers as they do a build as they do when they select an option and the total price in the summary changes. for example I would have seen that while the truck I was...

I put on the OEM ones that I bought from Dallas Dodge. under 500$

I have not had mine long enough to do any road trips without towing something but my son has '17 with 5.7 and 3.92 gears and he gets 20-21 on the highway

you will notice a big differance pulling that trailer. I traded a 2017 gmc sierra slt 4x4 ccsb 5.3 with 3.42 and 6 spd. tranny for my laramie. with 40 more hp. the 8 spd. tranny and 3.93 gears, the laramie pulls my 6000# trailer easily where the gmc had to struggle. the low 1st gear in the ram...

I am ok with it but I would like the floor shifter in the console like the ford and tundra.

I picked the laramie because of the price/option level and I prefer the front end of it over the limited..looks a little less frilly to me. I think a truck should look more rugged less fancy than a car. I like the grill of both but not the headlight area of the limited. IMHO

I have the 8.4 with nav. and it works great. I always opt. for the nav. in any new vehicle I buy. I generally turn off the annoying voice before leaving the dealership and I use the nav screen as a reference when in town going to a new place and on the road. It is not rocket science to find your...
