Part number for fender trim on Laramie/Limited?
I bought a set of OEM flares for my 2020 Big Horn. The first thing I did was get a Vin number off from a 2020 Laramie. Then I was able to apply that number to get the right pieces. But, be advised that the OEM Mopar pieces have clips installed on them with posts. Apparently the fenders on the...- Montessa

Max towing tongue weight
I bought a trailer toad last year due to my concerns. I set it up, I believe correctly, according to the instructions. I took 1 trip to my local track and could hardly keep the rig on the road! Due to the lack of tongue weight the trailer was pushing the truck all over the road. I stopped...- Montessa

Max towing tongue weight
You bring up a good point. I did scale my rig loaded a few years ago at a Cat scale but lost the info. Truthfully, I got rid of the sheet and was only concerned about the overall weight. The other numbers on the slip didn't make any sense to at the time. Once I get the car running I will return...- Montessa

Max towing tongue weight
Yes, the total overall weight, truck, loaded trailer and golf cart in the pickup bed totaled 21k. The trailer is a 34' triple axle v nose with living quarters. I generally pull locally but, on occasion I travel about 150 miles to the next closest track. I have pulled to Norwalk Ohio for a couple...- Montessa

Max towing tongue weight
I have pulled this load for since 2016 with a 6.4. The engine does just fine where I run in the Northeast. The area is fairly flat. I do not see that a diesel is warranted for my application. I put around 5k a year on the truck and my home track is 25 miles away. From everything that I a reading...- Montessa

Max towing tongue weight
I got the info from the 2020 ram brochure. Remember my truck is a regular cab with 4.10's. I bought this trailer from a guy who was pulling it with a 2500 6.0 Chevy, hitched with a 10k rated Reese hitch! I did buy a trailer toad due to my concerns. I used it once and found that it took too much...- Montessa

I have a 2020 regular cab Ram 6.4/4.10. I pull a 34' living quarter race car trailer. I scaled the entire rig loaded with a golf cart in the box. It weighted in at 21k. I am concerned about the tongue weight. Ram rates the bumper hitch at 2000lbs. I run a 15000lb Blue Ox weight distributing...- Montessa

6.4L 410 rear end mpg estimations
I did a little field trip last weekend. A couple hundred miles with mixed roads. Highway at 72 mph, country roads and villages. Averaged 14.2. Truck is a regular cab 2020, 6.4 /4.10 with 1800 miles on it. I had a 14' Ram set up the same as the 20'. The new truck appears to be 1 to 1.5 mpg...- Montessa

Have they ran the 6.4 with the 8 spd up the Ike
I have a little over a thousand miles on the new truck and have been averaging about 13.5 empty so far. I did pull my trailer a short distance from winter storage. Too short a pull to really make a comparison but the truck seemed happier. This dam virus has everything shut down so, who knows...- Montessa

I had a 14' 6.4 regular cab with 4.10's. I pull a 34' race trailer with a lounge stuffed with a 68' Charger. I load a golf cart in the box when running out of town. With all my junk the outfit scaled at 21000. I mostly pull in flat lands and have found the 6.4 6 speed up to the task. Fuel...- Montessa

FENDER FLARES?
Thanks for your reply MK70SS. I am looking for anyone who installed oem Mopar flares and the small spats that are standard on the Laramie trim. Given the fact that these trucks have been out for almost 2 years I find it hard to believe that I am the first one to do this! -

FENDER FLARES?
MK70SS, Are your flares Mopar? If so, How did you mount them? Did you use 2 sided tape? I removed all of the push through pins and just bolted them on with the wheel lip screws. I bought the Mopar spats for front and rear but, could only use the fronts. The rears were too short. I did not... -

FENDER FLARES?
I recently purchased a set of oem mopar flares for my 2020 Longhorn 2500 only to discover that they require holes in the fenders! I had also bought the mopar spats for the whole factory deal. I then bought the oem Bushwacker flares, hoping that I could still use the spats from Mopar . Wrong...
