    For those with Off-Road Group Package - Questions

    I was looking at a 2025 Big Horn with the off-road package and it was 1500 and some change payload. My 2021 Big Horn has 1784lbs of payload, but I've also added side steps, roll up tonneau cover, and now run a 33"+ 10 ply tire. Our travel trailer weighs 1,500lbs ready to travel and I also...

    For those with Off-Road Group Package - Questions

    Thanks. I was wondering because I pull a 5,500lb travel trailer with about 650lbs of tongue weight. I added air bags to my '21 to help with the sag. Between the 10 ply tires, air bags, and weight distribution hitch, my truck handles our trailer really well.

    For those with Off-Road Group Package - Questions

    I've been googling all over trying to get an answer about ride quality. Is there a difference in ride quality between the orp and the regular package? Stiffer or softer springs?

    For those with Off-Road Group Package - Questions

    I talked to a dealer today about a '25 big horn with off-road group. It has the 12" screen and I prefer the 8.4". Also no trailer brake. I told them they would have to install the trailer brake and swap my Cooper Discover at/xlt's for me to accept the 12" radio/screen. I believe it had the wild...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I'm one of those people who never seem to be satisfied with what I have. Or I get bored easy. When I decided on the 1500, I searched and knew that I didn't want e-torq, I had a '22 Gladiator and didn't want start stop again. I've been watching the posts on the 25's and it just helps me to know...

    Can... he... tow it?

    Also, if you were to think about a 2500 CTD, it will a low payload. A 2500 with the 6.4 will have around 3,200lbs of payload +-

    Can... he... tow it?

    I think it depend on your payload sticker on your door. It's a little long for what I would want to tow with a 1500. A good weight and sway hitch would be in order for sure.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I have gmrs in my truck and decided I also wanted cb. I bought a Radioddity qt80 from Scott's radios and spent some time looking for the right mount, I wanted it to be in the area of my right knee at the map pocket. I went with a Tram 3500 magnet antenna and was a hell of a time getting the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Compared to the 5.7, that's not bad. If I was ever to move up to a power wagon, I would like to think that I would be happy with 35" tires. My Big Horn is running 33.3" tires and averaging around 15.5 mpg's. At our age, I think our little 24' travel trailer will be our last and I think my 1500...

    CB Radio

    Here's a couple of pictures of my cb radio bracket from NH OVERLAND. I had to move the cb mount to the right to get the radio away from the dash. And I had to use better bolts for the cb mount to the bracket. It puts the radio exactly where I wanted it.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I've seriously considered a Tradesman Power wagon. But I'm retired and the interest rates are definitely not cooperating. I don't think my wife would approve either. She's happy with her very comfortable side of my truck.

    CB Radio

    Not sure who you're replying to. I found a Overland company back East that makes different mounts for our trucks. I'm waiting for mine to ship. I guess they're a little behind. The bracket I bought will allow the radio to mounted on either side of the lower part of the center console.

    Trailer brake (dumb) question

    My 21' came with the tow hitch because of the level 2 package. My window sticker shows the trailer brake as a add on. I don't have tow mirrors, my truck has power folding mirrors. So, basically, mine does not have the tow package. Your truck will not have a adjustment for trailer brakes. You...

    Trailer brake (dumb) question

    Does your truck have the trailer brake controller on the lower part of the dash?

    CB Radio

    I have a Radioddity Qt80 am/fm/ssb radio being delivered tomorrow. I plan on connecting it to the battery. I plan on making some type of S- hooks and hanging it on the map pocket next to my right knee.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I use my truck like a truck. Dump runs, hauling yard waste to the recyle yard. Towing our travel trailer. It's been awhile since I cleaned real good. Hell, I've even got some ants roaming around inside. I don't spend money on making it pretty, it's a truck. I still prefer to be comfortable in a...
