    First Tow Impression: 5200+# Travel Trailer

    I see what your saying, but we are typically passengers only and load everything in the camper. It will be interesting to see what the tongue weight is when we are loaded and ready to camp. I'll post that number. It we go from 700# dry tongue weight to 1K plus we've packed wrong.

    First Tow Impression: 5200+# Travel Trailer

    DD- I can't agree with you more re the hitch setup. No tape measure was used and I'm still not sure how they setup the head angle... Nevertheless I made sure that all the TT tires were inflated to 65psi, the truck tires were at 35psi vs 40psi max. I will also be reinstalling my hitch this...

    What hitches are everyone using?

    Equalizer 10K WD (see my towing post). Only WD experience was with a eazlift and now the equilizer. Would highly recommend the equalizer.

    First Tow Impression: 5200+# Travel Trailer

    We bought a 26ft TT (5200# empty) this weekend and towed it back home, approx. loaded weight is probably around 5600# (first trip). I'll get it on the CAT scale in the next 2weeks to get a better ideal where we are at. Tongue weight is around 750-800#, yep this TT is nose heavy with dual axles...

    First Impressions after towing, trailer sway, tire load index and rating

    We had porpoising when we towed our 6500# TT w a 2500 over certain expansion joints or bridges. I think that some of that is to be expected with a bumper pull.

    Tonneau Cover (truck newbie)

    I went with a Tyger Auto tri-fold. It fits okay and is largely water resistant. Not sure how long I will keep my 1500 (2500/3500 in future...maybe) so I just wanted something that was a cost effective solution that provided water resistant properties. Success

    Reinstalled Waze on the phone, that solved the issue.

    Gotta Say, these trucks can take a hit.

    Hate to say it but windows down, if it rained your interior is hosed. So much electronics, seat motors and exposed mild steel. The vegetation growth looks like it hasn't moved in a while too. Looks like they took it out and hooned it, then parked it. Looks like they just bought it. Contact your...

    1st Oil Change

    Essentially the analysis provides a snapshot of the health of your engine. Im not concerned about extending OCI just monitoring the health of the engine. TBN and TAN are available (on spreadsheet) but i believe thats an additional cost. I have enough science projects at work, dont want another...

    1st Oil Change

    They have a database of similar engines and oil types to base OCI recommendations.

    1st Oil Change

    This is the first oil change, I send my oil to Blackstone for analysis. Based on the analysis results and recommendation from Blackstone I'll set a typical OCI for my truck. For example, Ram recommends 15k OCI for the 6.7, I never ran that long typically changing oil and fuel filters at 10k...

    First tow with new 19 Ram 1500 Outback 268 RL TT

    Have you experienced any push from other vehicles while towing this configuration?

    Tow Mirrors

    With the mirrors flipped up you have large blind spots in your forward quarters field of vision. I'm okay with that if I'm towing, otherwise I flip them down and get an assist with the blind spot monitoring on the passenger side.
