    A Comprehensive Guide to Towing with the 2019 RAM 1500 - Everything You Need to Know!

    That payload rating actually does include 300 lb for one driver, one passenger. Seated in the front row, and all fluids full.

    Fog light terminal size/number

    you can get an adapter for 9005/9006 that should be the correct socket. https://www.amazon.com/iJDMTOY-Adapter-Headlights-Retrofit-Installing/dp/B01HNAT6SQ/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=9005+male+adapter&qid=1625923566&s=automotive&sr=1-5

    Fog light terminal size/number

    Hmm, Are you wanting to connect into the factory fog light harness? or install wires from the BCM?

    How big have you towed? w/Pics no tricks!

    I was going to mention this as well. or by completely skewing TW... 6% TW on a boat? you can tell that towable companies have been playing the same "pick a number" as the truck industry. Most of the trims above the tradesman and bighorn are not a truck "by the sticker" Id probably be fine with...

    I can't take the Dog?

    as Finn5033 and Willwork4truck mentioned, experience is key, Growing up in the mountains of Colorado I learned to respect weather, road conditions, hairpins, and grades. I started with trailers on a farm at 9 years old towing 1 ton trailers with a 4 wheeler to get hay to cattle up in high...

    I can't take the Dog?

    Just a thought... airstreams were designed to tow by a family sedan in the 60's I'm sure those cars had more payload than your truck :ROFLMAO: you should do what you feel comfortable with, me personally, its a few lbs... in the event there is a mishap, +/- 100lbs will probably not be a factor...

    Stiffer linear rate springs

    I am planning on going with either 35% or 50% linear spring. after watching this video, and his explanations, I think its time. I still need to get to a scale to see my unloaded weight though to see if the 35% or 50% is a better fit for me, not sure if the 70% will just make it feel like a 2500...

    another note to think about is your spare... if your running near max payload, that ~110T spare is gonna be hurting if you have to use it.

    Please post your Tire and Loading sticker

    One thought in regards to tire's limiting the payload; I inspected my setup, with the Nexen Roadian HTX RH5 275/55R20 SL the payload/pressure chart is: 29psi - 2121lbs 32psi - 2293lbs 35psi - 2465lbs 36psi - 2535lbs with an axle rating of 3900lbs front and 4100lbs rear, the tires could be at...

    The battery alone is 30lbs, then you have the motor/generator and controls systems. in total its about 100lbs for that.

    Body Armor Ambush on BTS

    That is nice! I wish they would have included a hidden winch. I'd rather have that than a light bar... or have an option for both? the outer pods, two inner pods, and the fairlead? Id love that! What's the weight vs stock? I do a lot of inter state towing, last ting I need is a lot of extra...

    Factory gooseneck prep kit on 1500?

    So... I know the factory will not install this as an option since they dont want to be liable for the dumb owner that sees a gooseneck and says "it'll tow 30k" But is there a rear frame difference between the 1500 and the 2500 where the factory plate kit mounts? Factory plate kit: 82215840...

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    "molecular separation and angular velocity" is commonly researched in engines, why do you think fuel injectors have changed and are more precise? why is direct injection more powerful than port? why are exhausts not square corners? why would you "Port and polish" an intake where the roughness of...

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    wheres the smoke? in your picture :ROFLMAO: RPM again has no factor in the MAXIMUM FLOW through a tube... RPM does not increase the volume of air... if it did all engines would balloon up when revved... it does however increase the potential blowby and pressurization due to this. but your PCV...
