    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...

    Factory trailer brake controller - can it work automatically below 15 mph?

    mine works ok at slow speeds. I always check it before heading out when towing. I have mine set on 5.5 I think

    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...

    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.
