    Towing more than the truck is rated for???

    Honestly I just threw a number out there now that I have actually looking at the weights of trailers I am considering they are averaging 6 to 7 thousand. I do have a weight distributing hitch and the truck is a qcsb 4x4. I think I'll be fine just to get it home.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I have heard about the 3rd brake light from a ton of people but I have yet to notice mine leaking. I have even had it off to replace the bulb and I didn't add any extra sealant.

    Is The 4.7 That Bad?

    I have not had any problems with the 4.7, like others have said it's just terribly under powered which is why I am looking to trade it off.

    powder coating durability?

    In my experience with powder coating (actually doing the coating) surface prep is 90% of the work. Just like paint it needs somthing to grab on to. I would not expect powder coat to stick to our chrome bumpers as well without some roughing up. The surface also needs to be very clean.
