Same with other tow dollys. I have the common Master Tow. Capacity 3,500 lbs. The full car haulers are much better and worth the extra money if you can get one.
A solid 1 mpg better towing an AS vs your trailer when towing at 65 mph. With GDE engine & trans tune 3.92 gears depending on wind I get 14.0 to 14.5 towing a box TT. GDE's cruise control setting work MUCH better than stock tune cruise control settings for towing.
If I spend the whole day...
Thats computer which is usually slightly optimistic. 4WD stock tires running in 2WD. An oversize load generally don't go quick or fast so there is that. He sent me this today as lol "not a bad start for the day"
Pilot car service, lightbar sign flags etc. Load as in oversize load semi truck running 65 mph down the highway with pole for bridges opening & closing lanes controlling traffic etc. He isn't towing or carrying much. At most 100 gallons of diesel tools chains & binders rubber cones etc maybe...
My son has a 2022 ED 60k miles 3.21 and GDE tuned. So far pretty fantastic motor & truck. He has a Pilot car business averages 33 mpg with a load and is ecstatic about it. We used it to tow a 7k 30' Airstream and was really surprised despite the gearing it had power in spades. I'd still pick...
Two sets of four per year. Brakes not often. Tuned I use the turbo brake plus factory TBC trailer brake controller where appropriate. If memory serves me the original brakes went 293k before having a pad break and crumble.
Yep the new EV crazed ownership killed it quick and would probably like to kill the Cummins if they wouldn't get burned at the stake. Looks they are going to kill all the three ED Hemi & Pentastar in favor of the new 3 liter gasser. The good news is I checked Ram price & build new vehicle...
Son has 55k zero issues GDE tune on his 2022. He has a pilot car business.
I've got a 22 2500 Cummins and a 14 ED both used for commercial towing. 57k on my Cummins zero issue. 894k on my ED as follows.
371k pushed a head gasket due to low coolant from an internally leaking EGR cooler.
423k...

Not listed but make sure you get the turbo brake option if you think you might ever tow say a travel trailer or car...
This You tuber's assumptions & conclusions rarely ever seem to match with my actual experiences.
Ford shot themselves in the foot with their 3 liter diesel only offering it in expensive high trims or bare bones to fleets. See if you can find an XLT 3 liter diesel.. they are not out there. Tiny...
Yea that's fair. But 10 years is a long time off automotively in today's world and Stelantis has not cancelled the Ecodiesel. They have only declared to "cancel it" in the dramatic clickbait wording of automotive journalists for the Ram 1500. This I suspect along with soon enough the Hemi &...
When the current administration took office and immediately attacked our energy sector I picked up a 45 gallon tank for the back of my truck. (a benefit of diesel) Shortly I bought two inexpensive used 275 gallon containers to store fuel. Bought it for 2.69 a gallon. Covered it as it was...
Anybody know of a powertrain failure where customer had a GDE tune and it was denied for that reason? Me neither.
If you are a Mfgr and the government makes you tune and emission control a vehicle in such a way that it is less reliable costs you warranty claims even possibly leads to...
I don't know on the 5th gen truck but on the 4th gen truck the ED truck equipped otherwise identically was 90 pounds heavier. The GVWR allowed 50 pounds more (6950 vs 6900) so you actually only lost 40 pounds of payload towards max GVWR.
