    Looking for 2018 3500 Trailer Hitch Upgrade

    @392DevilDog - My whole issue is the 1800# tongue weight. The toy in the back will bring it down as you say. This is from an owners experience: Dry TW: 1600# Loaded, no toy: 2000# Loaded, w/ toy: 1800# You are correct that people probably tow over capacity without ever knowing. Lots of people...

    Looking for 2018 3500 Trailer Hitch Upgrade

    392DevilDog - Very interesting. At first I thought, yeah, right.... But the more I thought about this, the more sense it makes. Tell me if my understanding is correct.... The 1800 / 18000 is the structural capability of the truck. The ~13k towing capacity per my VIN is based on additional...

    Looking for 2018 3500 Trailer Hitch Upgrade

    I've looked at the truck's manual (and all the Ram published towing specs). It just says 1800# max and doesn't mention a WDH. Some hitches list a slightly higher tongue weight with a WD hitch like the Curt Class 3 & 4 (+ 400# & +200#) but the Class V Commercial is 20,000# tow & 2700# tongue...

    Looking for 2018 3500 Trailer Hitch Upgrade

    I do have the factory 2.5" receiver (and the 2" adapter). I need / want the 2.5" receiver because the Blue Ox 20k WD hitch now comes standard with the 2.5", 9-hole shank. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Looking for 2018 3500 Trailer Hitch Upgrade

    We're buying a bumper pull toy hauler with a dry tongue weight of 1600#. It's reported that the loaded tongue weight without a toy in the back can reach 2000#. This exceeds the 1800# tongue weight limit of the factory hitch. I can't find any info if the TW limit is increased with a WD hitch...

    Cell phone charging

    My resolution: Ram replaced the whole center console in order to replace the cable harness which was damaged or defective. The phone charges fine now. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Cell phone charging

    FYI - I suggested to the RAM service advisor that it might be"normal". He said they've actually replace a lot of the USB ports so he encouraged me to have it tested. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Cell phone charging

    Yes. There are two ports in the console. They work off & on. Not sure but maybe my new phone has a higher threshold. I've scheduled a service appointment. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Cell phone charging

    2018 3500 - Are you able to charge your cell phone using the USB outlets in the center console? I've got a new Samsung S20 and the output is not enough to charge the phone. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Driving Light Switch

    Just curious if the driving/fog light symbol in the middle of the light switch (the one that says "PUSH") is / should be lighted at night... Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
