    I'm pretty sure you will need a good WDH to prevent overload of your rear axle and loss of safe steering and front braking control.

    1500 vs 2500 for towing travel trailer (downhill)

    I tow a 29 ft. 6500 lb. tt with my 1500 hemi w no issues at all - no sway, lots of power, plenty of brakes. I have everything loaded and set up correctly, including my WDH and brake controller. If you are within payload and rear axle gross weight and do everything else right, you should be fine...

    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    My window sticker. I tow a 6500 lb. trailer with a Centerline WDH, tongue weight 920 lbs. Very stable, plenty of power.

    Towing without WDH, Timber Grove?

    I saw a test on YouTube that showed that lifting the rear of a tow vehicle w airbags and a trailer actually increased the rear axle load, while a proper WDH decreased it. I also don't understand why a trailer manufacturer would prohibit use of a WDH.

    Determining Towing Capacity from Online listings

    100% agree with crash68. For your reference: I tow a 6500 lb. fully-loaded 29 ft. trailer with a 2016 1500 crew cab w RWD, 5.7 hemi, 8 speed and 3:92 rear. No sunroof, no power seats. So I've pretty much got the most payload for any crew cab 1500. I believe my WDH is properly set up and, like...

    Trailer brake controller

    My Prodigy P2 works great.

    Towing help for someone brand new to trucks and towing.

    There are a **** ton of accessories that can make towing easier and safer. I highly recommend a rear camera on the trailer. Even the best towing mirrors won't let you see what's right behind you, which makes lane changing very scary. The rear camera takes care of that. Good for backing it up too.

    Help for Tow Dummy

    Also note the GAWR REAR. It's awfully easy to overload that rear axle even when within total payload limits. With a properly set up WDH and careful trailer loading, you'll be ok. Just check on CAT scales when fully loaded to be sure.

    Anyone installed a electric brake controller for towing on their 1500?

    The PO put a Prodigy P2 controller in mine and it works very well.

    All Weather Tire Question

    I have the Nitto Crosstek 2 on my 1500 which tows a 9000 lb. camper. They have been wearing evenly and staying round and balanced. Rain performance is also good, can't speak to snow in my part of the country.

    Towing Camping Trailer

    Just another set of stats FYI. I tow a 29 ft. toy hauler with my 2016 1500 and have never felt unstable or under powered. 18 wheelers pass me with no disturbance and I pass economy cars going up hills. Here's some specs: Truck is 5.7L RWD with 3:92 axle and 8 speed, itself weighs only 5720 lbs...

    Essential Aftermarket Towing Accessories

    My 2016 1500 hemi is similar to your 2020 but it's 2WD and has the 3:92 drive and factory brake controller. It tows a 29 ft., 6400 lb. TT beautifully with just a good WDH (Centerline). A WDH is ESSENTIAL and will solve many problems: overloaded rear axle, sway, squat, poor handling, etc. You...

    Good aftermarket lug nuts?

    My spinning cap nuts are still firmly on the studs on the wheel. The caps are deformed and rounded looking. Just try to hammer a socket on over it to remove the whole thing? Looks like I might also be able to punch out the front of the cap and rip it off.

    Good aftermarket lug nuts?

    Stefan N, how did you get the "hat" off the nut? Mine just spin but still seem attached somehow.
