I see some folks do about 300m per day..have not considered that yet. the run down to Big Bend didnt...

    Payload discrepancy between door jamb sticker and RAM web site

    certainly the numbers have confused me. I weighed mine at CAT scale and got 5960#. if I subtract me: 222#, the 20# of emergency gear I keep under the back seat and 120# for the 1/2 tank of fuel I had at the time, I get 5598# for the empty truck. that theoretically would give me 1502# of...

    Drove a 2020 tonight for an hour or so...

    certainly everyone likes something different, but I am happy with the '19 laramie I have. it far and away handles better and is more fun to drive than the '17 gmc sierra that I traded in. I dont care what the ridgeline owner said, the truck seems to have plenty of get up and go for a pickup and...

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

    I have been looking at toy haulers and seems like anything with a slide-out will max out my 1500 and be longer than I want to pull. our freedom express 246rks is 28' and is at about 6000# when we tow. I only have 1324# cargo cap. and dont see many toy haulers that wont be over my max. if I want...

    Automatic braking concern

    I turned mine off early on because a cpl. times it slammed on the brakes when I was in traffic. I use the old fashioned method of looking out the front window while driving and applying the brakes as needed.

    New truck, new travel trailer first tow review.

    I have pretty much the same vehicle and only have 1324# so it looks like the addition of some airbags gives a nice boost in capacity.

    Payload

    the yellow sticker on mine shows 1324# cargo capacity. when I had mine weighed at cat scale it weighed 5960# with me and 1/2 tank of gas, so 7100#-5960#= 1140 left for cargo and passengers.

    2019 ram 1500 towing

    I'd look for something in the 5000# area because after you stow the bike and some gear you will be up near 7000# when on the road. a lot depends on your towing style. I like to set cruise at 69-70 so as not to incur as much road rage from others, so the amount of work the motor does and my...

    2019 ram 1500 towing

    your 1500 ram with 3.21's will struggle to pull a trailer that heavy with the additional wt. of the bike and gear. mine with the 3.92's works plenty hard pulling my 6000# travel trailer and we pack as light as we can when towing. I wanted a toy hauler to camp in and carry my harley ultra but...
