Wait .... you mean you dont want to say that," couldnt event tell it was back there."

I like it when guys speak the truth.

My 3500 even knows when 4,000 lbs is behind it.

That 8500 lbs up & down the hills was more than enough!

My 1500 was like wtf .

It would been a cake walk on flat ground , but 3 to 5 % grades not so much .

Hauling my Scrambler. I have AirLift air bags to keep it level and I installed the OEM brake controller and activated with AlfaOBD. Level, stops great and plenty of grunt with the 3.92's.

Two single axle U Haul trailers, one double axle trailer to move with. Then bought a 16' Travel Trailer, basically pulling a brick through the air but the Ram does it great. Electronic brakes work like a charm.

I'll toss in:

I just dragged home a 3600 lb RV trailer (puny 4400 lb tow limit, will end up dragging 4200 lbs once the trailer is loaded - yeah, cutting it close, sue me.)
However, does dragging choke-chained sections of tree trunk of unknown weight out of a river (because, free firewood!) count?
