Hi.
I have a 2016 1500 with the Pentastar and the default factory gear ratio. Overall I'm happy with the truck -- it's a daily driver with occasional run to the junk yard or similar.
I plan to buy a travel trailer for the summer of 2019 and before I order it (there's a 16 month wait list!), I'd like to know what I'm in for towing-wise.
The travel trailer is ~2000lb configured the way I want it. Obviously this is way under the maximum towing weight for my default gear ratio 1500. As well as being ultralight, the trailer is also more aerodynamic than most.
Any feedback on how the baby 1500 will handle under a moderate load? Specifically, accelerating to highway speed at on-ramps and what I can expect in the Rockies.
I would love a HEMI or an EcoDiesel, but divorce is expensive so it's not an option.
Thanks in advance.
