Sorry for the omission. The trailer is 25' toy hauler. It weighs about 5100 dry with a 690 tongue weight. GVWR is 7690. It was selected in part to be "towable" with the 1500 RAM. Discussions on this forum helped me to better understand the payload limitations of these trucks. I expect the...

I recently did some experimentation on a 700-mile trip through Indiana and Illinois. Pretty flat with only small grades. I used T/H for a tank and didn't use it for one tank. In T/H my truck almost never catches 8 th gear, stayed in 7th. Seemed to down shift on the slightest hill. In normal...

We picked this unit up a couple of weeks ago. 30.8 feet long #7,690 GVWR, #690 hitch weight. Used an Easlift TR3 WDH. Towed fine, got 9 mpg. Hemi likes (needs) to rev.

@Silver Bullet: Thank you for the info, I am leaning toward the Anderson. I like it for the reasons that you mentioned. I have about a week to make my final decision. I have air suspension if that changes matters... @Loudram, Thanks for that. I have watched that and a number of his other...

Greetings! I have some questions, as I am narrowing down my choice of WDH. We will pick up our new 25' (30' 10" actual) trailer in a couple of weeks. The dry weight is 5103, GVWR is 7690 and the tongue weight is 690 (presumably empty). The '22 RAM has the tow package and 3.92 gear. I was...

Grady, I think the recommended max tow capacity on your configuration is about 7500-ish. So you are regularly towing about 1/2 of that capacity. Seems to me to be plenty of cushion. I went from a gen 4 2500 to a 2022 1500 because I was not using the additional capacity. I tow from 1500 to 6500...

Great input Louhound! I am trying to evaluate the circumstances when I feel the anomaly. Getting other's experiences helps me to focus on or dismiss certain things. I wonder if any of the OBD devices that are available would give me better data, real-time. I could then see (hopefully) when ECO...

Great thoughts, friends-thank you. Regarding the thought about the eco mode test, I have done that test. It does not seem to make any difference with it on or off. My truck will only enter eco mode when coasting. As soon as you apply the slightest throttle, the light goes off and the feel/sound...

I had a muffler shop replace the OEM muffler with a flowmaster 40 series. Sound is great to me, it has the tinny, ”chambered” sound like old-school muscle cars. As far as the sound when Eco mode is engaged, it it barely noticeable. Admittedly, Eco mode engages only when coasting or very slight...

I guess my experience with eTorque is a bit different. When coasting, I would have told you that the eTorque does not re-generate. It seems counter-intuitive, since when I am coasting, I am not necessarily braking. I am coasting-not accelerating and not braking. I am using the energy that was...

By way of an update: Had the truck to the dealer for 10,000!? mile oil change and tire rotation. I also had them check the issue that I described above. The service writer said that there was a "massive" update to the software that "should take care of it". They did not take the time to actually...

As it stands currently. So far, so good.

Great thoughts, thanks. I wish there was some type of display that indicates the status of the Etorque system. It would be nice to know when it kicks in to contribute and when it is introducing a drag on the system. Other than auto-start, the times when I feel Etorque operation the most is...

Indeed

I am posting this to find out if anyone else has experienced similar engine operation. In normal driving, with a light load on the engine, I experience a intermittent sound/feel that seems much like the engine returning to normal mode after being in ECO mode (cylinder deactivation). The ECO...

I would, yes. I was fairly certain that I would not be lifting this truck, so I chose to order it. The air suspension does some unique things. Pulled a trailer a few times and it adjusts to the load. Cool feature.

Hopefully it only works in park…

Shen, I understand what you are dealing with. I was hoping AA would be an improvement over Uconnect. It's not. I am thinking about just turning it off and using Uconnect. AA does not always recognize my phone, when I try to make a hands-free call, it says " you have not added any contacts"...

Update: The issue with shipping was generally my location; you can't (easily) get here from there... Per MD's recommendation I offered $ 626 to ship it 700 miles to KC. No interest and we bumped it twice and ended up at $ 850. About four times shippers accepted the load, and then subsequently...

Mark Dodge has been great to work with. I saved over $ 10k and got 0% x48. The sales process was great; no pressure to buy add-ons. Paperwork was sent to the closest DMV and the details were correct. Easy-peasy. However, taken as a whole, next time I will think long and hard about out of state...
