I've got the 5.7 & 3.92 with e-torque - and I love towing with this truck! Rare that I ever see 8th gear while towing, but it takes one heck of a hill to take me below 6th gear too. ps: I'm looking at moving up to 2500 with 6.2 & 4.1 (I think?) and getting a TT with 2,000# more wt after the...

Well, I'm alway up for over-explaining things, so here's my contribution. The tongue weight listed by the TT is a decent estimate, but the worksheet below is what happened when we put ours on the CAT scale a couple weeks ago. We hit the scale with just the truck, then picked up the trailer and...

You shouldn't have to join to look at it Thanks DD... I can read the posts in Hdram forum, but if I click on a posted pic (to actually be able to read the label) I'm directed to log in before I can see it. I anticipate staying <= 31' for a new trailer (I'm just not comfortable maneuvering...

Thanks so much! So I can probably, conservatively, plan for 1850-1900# payload. Taking our hefty hineys into account with a 13% tongue wt for the TT means I can safely look at 10k# gvwr TT...Schweet!

Hi ya... been debating upgrading our TT, which will require upgrading my 1500 too. i’m not touching the 2500 until at least the 2021 model after they make a real 5th gen out of it. That said, I’m trying to locate payload sticker data for a limited crew cab, hemi, tow package, no pano so I can...

...get the 33 gal gas tank. Towing with the 26 gal tank requires a mid-day fill-up if we're towing the trailer.

I always name my vehicles: 1972 Fiat sedan: FiFi 1976 Montego: Myrtle-Fay 1986 Sentra: Turd 2000 Malibu: BooBoo 2010 CrossTour: Oprah (she was dark, sleek, loaded and had a big bootie) 2017 MDX: Emily or Cinnamon (she was black-copper pearl) 2019 RAM 1500: Maxine

My experience with this one was exactly same as aametzger.

Same happened to me with an Acura. 2017 MDX didn't have car play...salesman was spouting that they would be upgrading to it in 2018 and i could upgrade the software at that time. Total BS, of course, but it always bugged me. Happy ending though: my Ram has car play and I actually don’t like...

I went with the BakFlip F1 through Truck Alterations. 8 months later I’m 100% satisfied. Install was easy and it’s kept the bed dry through all but a power washer or heavy duty washing (even then there’s not much leakage for me). I chose the F1 because I wanted a textured surface (were exposed...

Sigh....your idea of off-reading is what we call roads in NM.

As we’re getting closer to the spring tow trip west, I’ve started trying to plan a fall trip east. NM to Chicago is easy (we do try to stick to US hwys and not intestates when the route allows) and Chicago to Gatlinburg isn’t too bad either (that leg requires interstate all the way) but then I...

Before I purchased the truck on Sept 8, 2019 I did the VIN search which showed the specific truck to have a tow capability of 11,300 lbs and max payload of 1840. Fast forward to Feb 7, 2020 I decided to search again and was shocked to discover it had dropped to 11,255.53 tow and 1355.53 max...

For what it’s worth, we definitely pack as much as possible in the trailer and as little as possible in the truck, since you only realize 10% of the true weight that way. The cooler goes in the trailer and a small tote of beverages/snacks goes in the cab. We refill the tote as needed when...

My take is that you’re taking about two different numbers. Tow capacity is based on engine, axle, etc and those numbers are published. Payload & GVWR are vehicle specific. FCA starts with a payload for the model at a base trim and then every add on, option, etc eats into the available payload...

First time behind the wheel (I was 13) was a ‘70 Pinto. 7th grade teacher let us ’play’ with her car in the school lot. i had zero knowledge of driving a stick and almost added a new doorway to the school building. Drivers ed was a ’76 Chrysler something or other, but 5 minutes after I got the...

We tow 5600# gvwr 24’ ultra lite TT (which I try to max at 5100# for a comfort margin or in case we have to tow with full tanks) and have a Husky 31997 (Which was installed for our previous Acura by the Rv dealer). Our OEM TT tires are rated to 65 mph and that’s right where we keep the speed...

ive been embarrassed a few times when doing a multipoint turn and throw it in park instead of drive, then I correct...but the auto parking brake has engaged and doesn’t release...leaving me looking like a total idiot. I’ve also reached for the gear knob and hit the off button (screwed my nav for...

My TPMS seems to be running 3# heavier than my gauge/compressor. I've also noticed that my compressor takes the tires to the 36psi on the door sticker VERY quickly...but if I turn off the air and then restart it, they read 34-34.5#. I have to cycle the compressor about 4 times to get a true 36#...

I was calling 'em turds long before I discovered that it was an acronym! lol
