I just made the maximum image upload size for everyone 6mb, Really anything besides a photo taken from a DSLR should fit in that size range.

Worked this time. Thanks!

thanks @Jared Balfour and @Ksilva211 for getting that pic up.

Looks good and proper for a towing machine.

Very impressed

Looks good with a trailer behind it.

Towed my 3000lb river jet boat this weekend. Single axle trailer. My observations:
1. The rearview camera is awesome. The ability to "zoom" in on the hitch is the cats-meow.
2. The self-leveling is awesome.
3. Ride was nice towing.
4. I have not played around with some of the other functions like the lane-changing-warning thing that is supposed to include the boat.

Even though I was kind of bummed that the Tow Package deletes the Surround View, I think I am happy with the decision.

I have the 3.92s and I had a chance to tow a little more weight today. Didn’t get on the scale but I’m guessing around 4 Ton of stone plus the Trailer. So probably between 11-12k total. Air ride leveled right out. Towed awesome. Power was decent. Not a diesel but I knew that going in. Overall I’m very pleased

Ksilva211, Would you be able to take a pic of your yellow payload sticker inside the drivers door? Me and a couple of other members are interested to see the real world payload capacities of these new trucks.

If you have already posted one please let us know. I looked through your posts and didn’t see one.

Thanks!

The Timbrens from your 3500 fit right in? Surprised the bump stop mounts are identical. How much space between bottom of timbrens and your axle? I have timbrens on my 3rd gen but not enough space when empty so ride can get jarring at times.

Actually the timbrens on the dually are
Timbren #DRTT3500D and the ones for the 2019 we blindly ordered since Timbren doesn't have specs yet for 2019 Ram are the same from 2018 Ram DR1500DQ. The timbrens on dually used a bracket and two screws to secure and 2019 Ram uses one screw in factory hole where old bump stop was and that's it. To answer ur last question I have 1-1/2" distance from bottom of timbren to differential platform so that factory suspension travels as it should and not give that unnecessary bounce when unloaded. Hope this helps

That looks really good!

Hey Laz, we picked up a 19 big horn, 4x4, hemi, no etorque, and also the 3.21 gears. We purchased this prior to determining we are considering buying a 26-30ft travel trailer. What exactly are the timbrens you are referring to? Will my stock truck pull it ok, and how horrible was the gas mileage?

Thanks!

I went to San Diego/Chula Vista Koa and got 10-13mpg on flat and 8-9 going uphill which wasnt much uphills. And its pulls my 30' TT with no problem. It pulls it off the line rather quick if you like but I'm conservative driver and take my time. I did test it to see overtake a couple of times but then back to 62-65mph. I dont use cruise when towing as I get better mpg manipulating the throttle w my foot. As for the timbrens...here's a short clip of the product.

Please do good research and shop around for what you feel is best for your truck as there are many options. I use these bcuz I am familiar and theres basically no point of failure as it's hard...super hard rubber (8600lbs capacity is what I use). I have used them in my past 2 trucks and now this new 2019 Ram 1500. Good luck and if you have anymore questions please feel free to ask.

Awesome, definitely installing them when i decide to get the trailer. I’m assuming your truck has the electronic brake controller since it’s the Laramie? I can’t find the oem part or part number anywhere. I’d rather have the factory one than a separate box mounted under the dash.

I'm picking up an enclosed trailer this Saturday...I'll post pics. As for the OEM Brake controller, best bet be give the dealership a call or get ur sunscreen on and start surfing the net

Went to purchase my 8.5x 20x 7 enclosed trailer today, pics attached. I will pick up next weekend since they will be adding e-track on both side walls, stabilizing Jack's in the rear, extra D-rings on floor, spare tire mount w spare tire and detailing it. I've got a party to attend and no time to wait for it...lol
