New Ram owner here I can't believe how bad this truck is in the snow. Compared to the previous two Fords I had before this, the Raptor and platinum both 150s this thing is awful it's a Ram 3500 Dually 6.7 with brand new rims brand new 37 inch tires no reason it should be such slug in the snow, obviously I have four wheel drive, this thing refuses to stop and refuses to turn just terrible. She is absolutely beautiful though, I'll give her that.
First off, welcome to the forum.
Believe it, or not, everyone here is actually trying to help you out, with your problem.
Some are just not a tactful, as others. Mostly due to the way you post reads.
Your issue is Simple:
You do not understand Trucks.
No way shape or form.
this problem is not a failing, on your part. It is simply lack of understanding.
Once you get an actual understanding of truck fundamentals, then choose to do things, like buy the tires you currently have,
at that time, you can own the Failing, on your part.
Get rid of those teenage, look at me, pretend tires.
Go buy a set of real truck tires.
If you want to drive in snow, then know , you have twice the rubber on the road so each tire has half
weight, as if it only one tire per side. so, add some weight to you trucks bed.
The weight will even help with the ride characteristics.
Smooth things out, as it were.
This is a 3500, not some carolina squating truck, owned by rich dweeb.
Treat it as such.
Now, on to the reason you have a 3500 dually.
They are designed to tow.
if you tire selection is any indication,
you are in desperate need of towing fundamentals, as well.
Read, read read, than ask quetions abotu what you do nto clearly understand.
Point is to reduce those holy crap we are going to die moments, when actually towing a load with your new truck.
The ideal is to never have one of those moments.
Next best is to survive, one of those moments.
Youcan probably figure out where it goes form there.
again, welcome and ask your questions, instead of psoting blanket statements when the problem is so obvious to anyone with eyes.
