Here’s a 1 yr follow up to this thread of my 2022 Ram Laramie towing.
I now have 17,500 miles with 11,000 towing the same 7k# trailer. I’ve towed the Appalachians (Fancy Gap) three more times (955 mile straight through drives) this year along with the local 150 - 300 mile events.
In March I replaced the 20 yr old equalizer hitch ball mount as the spring bar openings were worn. I had to change the mounting position on the shank as the new mount is slightly different in ball height. I lowered the front of trailer another 1/2” and moved some weight in the trailer slightly to get the corner heights on the truck to what I wanted. Front corners down 3/4 - 1” from no trailer. Rear corners set so headlights are slightly higher at night than no trailer. Doing this improved what was already very good to eliminating most all sucking when being passed. This truck easily maintains lane and steers one handed when passing, driving next to or being passed by semis. Same for driving the mountains. It is very solid and confident driving while towing.
Changing my own oil at 4000-4500 miles which is 50% oil life. Using the listed 0w20 oil and factory MO-339 filter.
Extremely pleased with this Ram for comfort while towing the long hauls.
The only thing I dislike that came on the truck are the Bridgestone Dueler tires. Although Ok in the dry, Very poor in the rain and worse in the snow. Replacing with my favorite, Michelin Defenders next year.
