Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and the proud owner of a awsome 2014 ram pickup with 55,000 miles .I currently own three Ford pickup trucks for my landscaping business. This ram I'm going to use to tow one-three days a week max with a max of 3,000lbs max! And I've never owned a dodge before, my main question for you all is just some basic stuff. With my fords I used Motorcraft everything. Everything ford suggests and I want to do what dodge suggests with theyre vehicles. So tell me

What type of oil and filter do I go with?
Since I will be towing sometimes what should be my concerns/maintenance?
At 55,000 miles what type of maintenance should I be expected to come across?
And anything else you guys can post to inform me will be so much help.

I appreciate everything and will gladly learn from you all, I will post pics soon! Thank you everyone !

Congrats and welcome! I used Pennzoil platinum in my 11. Was going to use redline in the 16 but changed my mind and put in ultra platinum with s Mopar filter. There is an oil thread that may interest you in the engine section.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your truck. Lots of members suggest Mobil 1 synthetic. My choice for my first oil change
