    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I liked the 2019 Blue Streak better than the 2020 hydro blue. I had a Wrangler in hydro blue which I liked but the blue streak looked better on the trucks to me. Wish that was an option for 2020/2021 Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    I looked through the "optional equipment weights" PDF that was posted in the "comprehensive guide to towing" thread and pulled out the following for a Laramie Short Box: Power Sunroof 35 lbs Wheel to Wheel Side Steps 62 lbs 32 gallon fuel tank 44 lbs 4 corner Air Suspension 34 lbs...

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    I've been looking up different Laramie configurations with different options to try and get a sense of what affects payload the most (heaviest options) but it's been difficult. Obviously the sunroof will be a hit, but does anyone know how much weight the ORP adds? It's on my wishlist but...

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    That's kind of what I'm afraid of. Not sure if the longhorns are heavier than a "regular" laramie but that payload isn't much better than my current RAM. Defeats most of my reason for getting a new truck. The camper we could be trading ours in for is: 6700lbs dry 8750lbs GVWR 765lbs dry...

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    The extra towing and payload is my end goal for getting a new RAM. I know it's not nearly as big of a difference as it would be if I went to a 2500 but I'm hoping it will still suit my needs. In addition to the towing/payload difference the Gen 5s have lots of other little features that I want...

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    I have an equal-i-zer hitch that helps quite a bit. But I still sag about 2 inches. The draw to the Gen 5 in that regard would be the increase in payload. Mine is only about 1280lbs. If I can get a gen 5 1500 with 1500lbs or more that will help with getting a camper with a larger tongue weight...

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    That's exactly where I'm stuck. I keep going back and forth on 1500 or 2500. The four to six times a year we tow the camper the 2500 would be awesome. But the rest of the year a 1500 is more practical. I'm having a hard time deciding.

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    We live in Colorado and all of our camping is up in the mountains. That's a good point about the airlift and payload though. I need to see what the payload rating would be. I'll definitely hit that before I hit the 11,XXX lb towing capacity.

    3.92s and airlift for towing?

    I currently have a 2017 Laramie with 3.21s, towing mirrors and brake controller to tow our 26' (30' including the tongue) TT. It weighs about 6000lbs loaded up for camping and the truck pulls it fine. However, in the next year or two we're looking at getting a slightly bigger camper, probably...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Will do, I'll ask a few more dealers. I've talked to 5 and 3 of them are saying they can't build ANY 2020s. I'll keep looking around though. Thanks!

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I am currently looking at building a 2020 Laramie but heard from my dealer that the sunroof isn't an option right now. I guess the vendor is shut down due to covid. I'm wondering if I should wait until the 2021s are available for order (hopefully the sunroof will be available by then) or if...
