How many miles ..pound and how often do you tow with your 5.7

socalledchad · May 14, 2016

Just wondering how often everyone tows with there ram 5.7

I tow a 7x14 enclosed work trailer around 3500 lbs
Almost everyday. 5.7 3.55 gears. Getting around 11 mpg.

I was towing 6x12 at about 2k lbs getting 13 to 14 mpg

Had my ram 2 months 5k miles 3500 miles said trailers were attached. ...

Also I'm in northern michigan and we have a fair amount of hills.

I have 2014 Laramie Ram 5.7 with 3.92 gear. Tow camper to camp grounds back and forth in summer months 8500lbs . lots of hills here in Southern Ohio/North Eastern Kentucky. Tow a 3800 lb pontoon boat too from time to time. It tows both with ease. Not a single issue with the Truck. Had 2003 & 2011 Laramie Rams one with 355 and other 392 gears no issues what so ever. Good trucks over 120000 on the 2003 when I traded it for the 2011.
