    I Gotta Ask...

    I do try to take care of my trucks. But now I have a dented tailgate (from 5th wheel camper - **WHOOPS**), and a couple other dents in my bed from stuff moving when I didn't think it would do any damage. Truck beds are pretty flimsy now.

    Towing

    Look at the drivers door. That will have the actual towing capacities for your truck, as delivered from the factory. I've seen upper end trucks with a payload of 900 pounds. If new to towing, learn a few phrases. Start here - https://rvlife.com/guide-to-towing-a-travel-trailer/

    Taking delivery of new ram today, price to pay?*got truck under sticker, all is well!*

    I am now in my second RAM Tradesman. The more "upscale" models do not suit me. My Tradesman had/have the "Customer Preferred Package 2A", which has everything on your list and more. I buy aftermarket seat covers that protect my cloth seats. My seats look like new after 7 years. - I like the 8...

    Terrible, Horrible luck TT wise. My fault though...anything I can do?

    I have heard this story too frequently. Telling folks who just bought a $50K+ "dream truck", that they will not be able to tow a 11K trailer when the salemanssaid they could, has made me the bad person. Especially today, most half ton trucks were not built to tow. Heck, I have seen payloads as...

    Towing with 1500 and air suspension

    You will overload the rear axle with a travel trailer long before you hit the max trailer weight. Even in my 3500 dually, I cannot hit max trailer weight with a 5th wheel trailer without going over rear axle rating. I can reach max weight with a gooseneck trailer loaded over the axles properly...

    Payload Question

    The only way to hit gross trailer weight, without exceeding rear axle rating, is with a gooseneck equipment trailer properly loaded over the trailer axles. That was true for my 1500, 2500 and now my 3500.

    Ram my up's, downs and WOW!

    Enjoy the new truck. Honestly, I always owned Checy 1500s. Well, my first truck was a 1972 c10 in 1986. I purchase my RAM because of the Cummins diesel for towing RVs easily.

    Best phone mounts

    Might help if you post truck model and year. I use Bayou Goat Mounts in my 2020 RAM 3500 Tradesman.

    Changing tires

    Why do you want a heavier tire? Do you me higher rated tire? And I would question the need for that as the E rated tires will exceed the FAWR.

    3500 Diesel or Gas for Full Time Fifth Wheel 14K GVWR?

    My friend with a 2020/1?? WolfPack 5th wheel and his 2021 Ram 2500 truck will now disagree with you as his camper and truck are in the shop for repairs. They colided because of uneven ground. An auto slider would not have allowed the contact. Perhaps if on only travels from level home to...

    Can you help me understand my engine Idle and Drive hours? Numbers don't make sense. EDITED initial IDLE & DRIVE HOURS 1/13/22 5:44pm

    So idle hours is not just counted idle time, but a derivative of run time?
