Howdy,
2022 Ram 1500 Limited Ecodiesel. Here in BC it's gotten really cold this last few days and I have noticed that when I do a remote start in the AM, when I get to the car a few minutes later there is no heat blasting or heated seats/steering wheel aren't on. I checked in the settings and...
I can't help but feel comfortable with that statement. I think everyone is on the ball with the WDH, I just don't see how it will benefit me as much as it can with the short/non intensive route I have to take.
Hopefully I am right 😬
Fair enough. My trailer is 7100lbs dry (which it is when taking to storage and bringing back to the site) and my payload is 1338lbs (it's just me in the truck) with nothing else aboard.
So with the Curt hitch, I level out...what more (besides swaying) would the WDH provide me at that point...
But that's the point I am trying to establish...how is it unsafe? The Curt hitch I use allows me to level out the trailer...it's rated for 14klbs...and my truck can tow 9800lbs. Just because I don't have the sway bars on? I ensure that the two days I tow it out of the year that the weather is...
Agreed...that is why I adjusted it as high as I could and made it level as possible. The fact that I tow it 40 mins within city/little hwy limits, I just cannot justify buying a WDH for that. If I ever plan to take it up the interior into the mountain passes, a WDH will be a must.
Thanks for that...I also found out that RAM's website will provide towing capacity via VIN # which came up with the 9800lbs.
So this is what happened:
I ordered a WDH from Amazon with the intention of towing my trailer out of the park yesterday. On Sunday I got a "ordered cannot be delivered...
I purchased the truck for other things as well...and yes, this short little trip is the only travel this trailer & truck combo will be doing.
So the consensus is to get the WDH...if it levels out the load and prevents any potential issues...then that's it.
Are they specific to...
Being totally new to this, if my payload is 1331lbs, do I subtract that from 12000 or is there another equation involved?
I have the tow package, 392 rear end, & lsd.
Fabulous movie...always love watching it during the holidays.
Ok so don't go adjustable hitch route? I thought they are good as they help with "leveling"?
Love the avatar..."I'm you're huckleberry".
I honestly am not too worried about the road...I'll move it when things are quiet. I just didn't want it to be completely unsafe...if it's manageable with heavy operator involvement, I'd rather put that money towards a good quality adjustable hitch.
Yes...I do believe the tow would be far more enjoyable...but I'll be on high alert, etc not going above 80-90kph.
With that out of the way, is this hitch a good quality one that I can also use to tow my boat?
