    I have a 2021 Ram 2500 diesel Laramie crew cab long bed. Can I tune it and put bags on the rear end for it to be able to pull a fifth wheel with a loaded weight rating of 18,350 lbs and a hitch weight of 2,950 lbs?

    Nuetral disconnect lever

    I needed tow to dealer because the Hemi cranked fine but no start. Tried to make neutral by lever and wheels still locked. So tow driver had to drag to flat bed. I was not too happy about that. Does the lever release electronic park brake also? Or just for trans neutral? Is that lever...

    Trailer Distance

    I keep getting the trailer distance icon showing up even though Tow/Haul is not activated. Sometimes the distance changes. I just replaced both side mirrors 'cause I was an idiot with the car wash and the light still comes on. Any ideas?

    7 pin trailer connector has no 12v power.

    Recently connected to a camper with 7 pin. Lights and brakes all function as they should but no 12v power from the truck. I've researched fuses and the F01 30amp pink fuse under the dash is installed. Other threads say to check the F30 location under the hood. There is no fuse in f30 and it...

    Brake Controller

    I just pulled my camper for the first time with my 2500 this past weekend. Before I had a 1500 with a brake controller box, so I’m new to the brake controller that comes built into the dash. My camper dry weight is 5400, I’m towing less than 6000. I gradually increased the brakes and got to 10...

    Fairly new to towing with this new rig....a RAM and a larger trailer. I am seeing conflicting messages on what my truck is rated for 7600 - 12k lbs plus tow capacity. My new travel trailer is 7600 lbs dry weight. Will this truck work, and if not, are there any upgrades I can do (cost...

    Can Tow Mode Canera and 360° Surround Trailer Camera options be combined?

    My 2022 RAM 1500 Limited came with the new 360° surround camera system for towing plus the kit of four camera (but no 5th Tow Mode camera). I understand through various forum postings that the Surround Camera system cuts your camera view above 8mph and it also doesn’t show you the rear view in...

    TPMS for travel trailer spare tire?

    I have a 2022 RAM 1500 Limited that came with the 360° camera kit and four TPMS sensors for a dual axle trailer. Does anyone know if it’s possible to acquire a 5th trailer TMPS so the trailer’s spare tire can also be monitored? (I’m not readily able to tell if the truck’s trailer TPMS supports...

    Towing with Lowered 5th Gens

    Can anyone post some pictures and setups for towing with a lowered truck? I know there are a few here, but I'd like to see some specific examples. Trying to convince my wife a 2/4 drop is okay with our Hideout 176LHS. @ferraiolo1 @Mopar_maxi

    Towing with 37s?

    I’m looking into getting a travel trailer and there’s plenty of info on here from guys with relatively stock trucks, but I was wondering if anybody has towed with 37 inch tires on their Ram? I know the 37s robbed a lot of power on my truck, but idk how heavy I could still confidently tow? I have...

    Towing 35’ Travel Trailer with 3.6L 1500

    Towed this setup about 200 miles. Left it in “tow” mode and set cruise control to where it comfortably held about 2200 rpms and didn’t need to search for gears going over every little hump, which was about 65mph. The auto sway control is super cool. There was a very stiff crosswind for some of...

    Transmission issue while towing

    While towing my boat my truck gets to a high RPM (4,000 to 4,500) before shifting and will not get out of 6th gear unless I let off the gas and let it down shift.
