Are you driving that route a lot? Are you cruising over 70 mph?
Driving habits, environmental conditions, and truck weight have just as much to do with it. If you wanted maximum fuel economy then a 2WD Tradesman is what you want. V-8, 4x4, ORG, tech packages, etc., all add weight to the truck...
On average I get about 16 mpg on summer blend and 15 mpg on winter blend. It goes up and down a bit as driving conditions and highway/city % changes between tanks but I'd say that's my overall.
If I do almost all highway then I can add about 1mpg to that. Depending on how "frisky" I'm feeling I...
Just replaced my XL-Rated Ridge Grapplers (OEM size 275/65-18). They were quiet until the end and there was still a little tread left at 55K miles (although the edges were almost bald). Great tire (y)
Looks like RAM isn’t the only one that had growing pains with the new generation rollout:

For a TT I recommend always using a WDH and sway bar. Weight or not that's a big sail going down the road for cross-wind/passing semi trucks so you will want all tires properly planted and something to keep the tail from wagging before your truck's software takes over.
Just my .02

57K miles and still going strong.
I bought it in May 2019 (12/2018 build) and it has had plenty of issues (rear window frame leaking, gas tank filling issue, A/C not very cold, cracked exhaust manifold, and a host of other issues) over 10 service visits to date. Everything's resolved except for...
Then you should never drive in town, any time there might be traffic, go through a drive-thru, or live in Los Angeles.
Some is not going to be a big deal. If you remote start and let it idle for 15 minutes regularly that’s probably not the greatest.
Cold starts are not good for your truck...
I was goofing around with everything one day and realized that the tray was just an insert. I picked it up and flipped it around. Works much better for me that way (with the coins in the back).
I always take everything out of my back pockets when I drive. My back is bad enough (two bulging...
At home it's on my night stand when I'm not using the truck. Other than that it's in my pocket, including when I unlock or remote start the truck - reach in pocket, push button(s), take hand out of pocket.
I have the passive entry kit sitting in my garage. One of these weekends I'll have to...
Gotta save something for the higher trims. Pre-COVID RAM offered a lot of options for the "lower" trim models (those with cloth seats) so there had to be some line drawn in the sand that couldn't be crossed. If you could get air suspension, heated seats, and LED lighting (albeit for a price)...
Famous last words.
I said that a few times with my last truck. All that meant to my wife is that I would try not to buy so much stuff that there was a comma in the price. ;)
Fewer and fewer dealerships are adding sales codes these days. I don't know if it's corporate pressure or not but a year ago many dealerships would do it as long as you were willing to shell out the $$ for them to do it, but nowadays it's being played very close to the vest.
You can find an SL-rated tire with the proper load ratings. Going up in load rating is not as much for weight capacity as it is for tire construction.
The higher the ply rating the stiffer the sidewall. That extra "beef" in the tire makes for a better towing experience IMO.
