    Broken in Half?

    Most definitely overloaded. That aside, you would hope that your frame is capable of holding double. I think the article I read from the people this happened to claimed that they were overloaded as well. That's just a cheap cheesy way for FCA to deny warranty. They should have an...

    Need Advice - 2020 Ram 2500 & Towing 5th Wheel Toy Hauler

    You're not going to find many toy haulers that are light enough to to be pulled (legally) by your 2500. If you are keeping the truck then you'll be really limited to what you can get, and the biggest issue you'll have is the floor quality of the camper itself. Most ultra light campers save...

    towing 5th wheel with 1500

    "Your truck's GCWR is 13,800 lbs (2017 1500 with 5.7L, 8-spd trans, and 3.21 gears). You cannot exceed that total weight rolling down the road. With a ~10,300 lb trailer that leaves 3500 lbs for truck, hitch, driver, passenger(s), and load. I'm pretty sure your truck alone will exceed that...

    towing 5th wheel with 1500

    ^^^^ This is the correct answer However without being sarcastic I would ask you a couple questions. A)What is the pin weight of your 5er? B)What is the cargo capacity of your 1500? If A is greater than B then you should not even consider it. The short answer is that to my knowledge, RAM does...

    Big Truck Big Decision

    My experience has been that My 1500, which has airlift 5000 bags and much better tires (2998 weight rating as opposed to 2602 stock) is capable of towing my trailer 37' 8100 dry. My concern is the payload of the truck and the heavy tongue weight of the trailer. It puts it but it's at it's...

    Big Truck Big Decision

    If your just towing a trailer under 10,000 then the 2500 Hemi is a good fit with a much better ride. I currently have a 1500 with a max tow rating of 10,450. (3:92 gears) It's the payload for my current trailer that kills it. My payload is only 1470 (newer trucks are a bit more, mine is a...

    You Have $70,000 to Spend

    You can get a 3500 Cummins for about $70. The 2500 with the Diesel engine lacks payload, and if 2500 (which will ride better) is how you are going, then look to the 6.4 Hemi. If you want to be able to tow anything, 3500 is really the only way to go. What you have to decide is if you want DRW...

    Big Truck Big Decision

    Lots of options to ponder there. I would ask a couple questions though. You stated in your build out that you're getting 5th wheel prep. People who get the prep usually get the 5th wheel. So if your going that route better think 3500 diesel. The hemi although powerful isn't really well...

    2022 Camping season...preps...thoughts?

    We seasonal camp, moved from a camp on the NY/MA border to a new site in CT. They open April 15th. Plenty of work to do to get the place set up to our liking. Then we ordered a new truck. I'm semi retired, but my wife still works. She's in the medical field and has been working from home...

    Underspraying

    Greetings. I have a 2014 1500. I bought it with 3000 miles on it. The former owner had it garaged. The first thing I did was get a dozen cans of rubberized undercoating. I sprayed the insides of the rear bumper, cab mounts, removed the wheel well liners and sprayed all the underside of the bed...

    Tire pressure confusion

    Your door pillar has the "recommended" pressures listed. With a large more commercial truck that is an arbitrary thing. I am currently running a 2014 1500, (But I have a 3500 Diesel SRW on order) and I tow an 8000 pound trailer. The original tires on the truck were great if you didn't tow...
