    New truck, new travel trailer first tow review.

    I dont know how you do it. I couldnt even hook that trailer up without being over wt. my door sticker shows 1324# max cargo and with just me and some fuel I only have 1140# remaining of the 7100# the factory allows...my trailer is only around 6000# when towing and the truck works plenty hard...

    Maximum tow weight?

    I dont how you could do it. with just me and some fuel I only have 1140# cargo capacity left per the door sticker. the lightest 5th wheel I have seen has around 1050# pin wt. that means I am over before I add the wife and gear and fill the fuel tank

    Maximum tow weight?

    my travel trailer is 28' and about 6000# when towing and it is as big a load as I want to tow. 28' + the 20' of my truck make it a challenge to get in and out of plenty of gas stations so I personally would not go much longer. towing this trailer at 68-70 on mostly flat roads I get 8.5-9.5 mpg...

    Tire Pressure when Towing

    I put the Helwig bar on my laramie and my 20" wildpeak tires show a max of 51# so I run 45 in the rears when towing my 6000# travel trailer. seems to have less shimmy that way.

    Door open while in gear?

    there are vendors that sell seat belt ends to plug in so as to defeat the autolock for less hassle when hooking up a trailer etc.

    Would you change anything?

    wireless charging for my phone. my last truck..gmc sierra had it and I assumed it was standard on new trucks nowadays. in my old truck I could just toss my android phone on the console and it would start charging..

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    the air coming out of mine does not seem really cold like the 2017 sierra I had but it moves a lot of air thru the seats and having air registers for the back seat area helps cool the cabin down pretty quick.

    Bicycle Hauling

    for our two mountain bikes I turn the handle bars parallel with front wheel and lay down in the truck bed gear cluster side up. that way I can close my Bakflip cover.

    Anyone With E-torgue Kept It OFF Since Day One (or Maybe Day Two?! lol)

    I dont know why he would tell you that. I priced a 2500 and a 1500 on the mfr. website yesterday that had the 8.4 with nav.

    Not impressed with my 8.4 Nav

    nav works great for me. dont want a bunch loose items to fool with so I prefer built-in nav. only have had gm and ram so dont know about others. turned off the annoying voice before I left the dealer. to the poster above, there is a place in settings to set the default scale. I prefer the zoom...

    Wireless Phone Charger Install

    did you take out or slide back the console. I tried to take mine out to get under it and after taking out the two bolts on each side, something in the front was still holding it so I gave up for now. thanx for posting link. I think it will do the trick

    Declined the extended warranty dealer pitch

    maybe so but I kept my 4x4 avalanche 10 years and it never even had a squeak. it was paid off for 5 years and I got 20,000$ trade-in. so I didnt do too bad on that one. I am hoping to get many good miles from my laramie but it is probably just a crap shoot.

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    I have a little over 4000 miles on mine now and I got 18 on two trips last month from DFW to the mountains of northern new mexico and back. cruise on 78. nice to see over 600 mile range after fill-up. my 2017 sierra 4x4 ccsb 5.3 with 3.42 rear end would only get 19-20 on same roads so the ram...
