We just got a 2019 RAM 2500 CTD. This replaces our previous 2014 RAM 1500, 5.7 Hemi. The previous truck towed our trailer fine, it was just overloaded, we do not travel light. Our trailer weighs right at 9000 pounds. Well, the new truck towed the trailer great! It has the six speed transmission, and on this 25 mile test run, got into sixth gear once (in tow/haul mode). Going up hills, there was none of the shifting down and winding out the engine, the Cummins just pulled up the hill in fifth gear. And that exhaust brake is great, going down hills holds the trailer back, maintaining speed, it does shift down though sometimes. Anyway, liking the new truck!
