    Towing the new camper

    That is a nice camper, I love the front window. I have a 2020 NuCamp 400 teardrop camper. I have stayed at campgrounds but what I really enjoy is boondocking. I have recently upgraded my batteries and inverter so that I can run my air conditioner off grid. This not only keeps me comfortable when...

    Is it possible to upgrade suspension to improve towing/weight capacity?

    If you mean allowed as in your liability if you exceed your ratings, no. Your vehicles rating was carved in stone the moment your Vin number was assigned and there is no modification you can make that will change those numbers.

    Harman Kardon Boomy Bass

    I picked up my truck September of 2019 with the HK system. At that time the system had very little volume, at full volume it was loud but not as loud as you'd expect. When I took the truck in for one of the recalls they did an update but that resulted in the base being over boosted. Recently I...

    Instrument cluster failure

    Good to hear you got your truck back. I heard from Ram today that my gauge cluster should be delivered early next week.

    Instrument cluster failure

    I was also concerned about getting damage while on the dealer lot but they did have it in a safe place. When I knew I had to leave the truck I took several pictures and a video to have proof of the condition of the truck when I dropped it off. I don't think that they were telling me the truth...

    Instrument cluster failure

    I am having an issue with my instrument cluster display. The display does not come on when I first start the vehicle. After about 1 to 5 minutes of driving the display will come on. I took the truck in for service about 2 weeks ago and they told me I needed a new instrument cluster and it would...

    Best Weight Distribution System for towing a 5000 lb Travel Trailer

    I tow a 5200 lbs (dry) camper and use a e2 6K WDH. I noticed a bit of squat also. Instead of buying a new WDH I purchased and installed an Air Lift 1000HD air spring kit. It not only took out the squat it improved the bounce when going over bumps.

    Travel Trailer: Hours away from pulling the trigger.. Give me a sanity Check!

    Depends on the type camping you're going to be doing. If you plan longer trips that get into the higher elevations the truck will struggle a bit with that weight. I did a 5K trip in 6 weeks with a Rockwood 2509 (5200 Dry). I hit high winds in west Texas, Arizona and Oklahoma and there were some...

    Adaptive Cruise Contol

    I recently returned from a 5000 mile trip with a 6000lbs TT. ACC had little effect on flat highway but once you hit hills it did effect mileage. ACC does not take advantage of momentum gained on down hill runs. One thing I did a lot is to find a big rig doing my same speed and pull in behind it...

    Irony

    You would be happier with your Ram if you would have gotten the standard coil suspension and added aftermarket air bags, they don’t talk back when you take a then beyond their specified limits.

    Cross Country Trip

    My wife and I are 4000 miles into our 7000 mile cross country camping trip. My truck has a 3.92 rear and I am towing a Rockwood 2509 TT with a GVWR of 6900 lbs , but it’s actually weight for this trip is under 6000 lbs. The Ram is doing good but for me I would not want to tow long distances...

    Axle ratio

    Your truck legally got its tow rating the day a VIN number was assigned to it. You can mod it but the rating for your truck will not legally change. If there is a incident and your insurance looks up the tow rating for your vehicle by its vin you will have a hard time explaining why it should...

    You are probably doing this but .... My Samsung 7 has to be past the long in screen for the pad to charge. If the phone is locked the pad will not charge.
