    2023 Camping Season, what are your plans?

    I came back just to visit the camping thread. Sold our fifth wheel and 2500 May 1st after almost 3 years of full time RV-ing, it was time. My intent was to buy an old Chevy truck but instead got a 67 ElCamino. 350/TH350 that I can actually work on :) Anyway, looks like some great camping going...

    2023 Camping Season, what are your plans?

    After 30 months and about 18,000 miles of travel my wife and I are giving up full time RV-ing. We got see so many beautiful places and met great people. Sold the ‘21 2500 to a dealership for 89% of what I paid new and the 5W probably goes next. I’ve enjoyed the camping threads more than any...

    Has anyone checked the KBB value of their Ram lately?

    I just sold my ‘21 2500 Tradesman to a dealership for about 90% of what I paid new. That was $3K above the upper end of what KBB listed for trade in.

    Max towing, for real...

    Further evidence of dumb people: I’m selling my ‘21 2500 Hemi and there was a lady in the RV resort that was interested in it. They just bought a new 5W but don’t have a truck yet since they’re here for a year. Anyway, my truck has a 17k lb tow limit, 3060 lb payload and GCVWR of 23k lbs. She...

    What’s your favorite flavor of cordless tools?

    Dewalt 20V. The circular will even cut through a 4x4 with 2 passes nicely. With the vacuum I can do my truck and wife’s car on one charge. The only thing I don’t like is the ion batteries give little warning before they quit. Also love the driver and impact driver.

    RV Towing Newbie

    I looked at a “half ton towable” 5W 3 years ago and the hitch weight alone was listed at 1550 lbs. Fill you propane tanks and you’re already maxing out most 1/2 tons.

    newbie to towing

    Great advice on here. I can tell you that the 5.7 with 3.92’s will not only pull your rig well but when not towing can blow the doors off many a sport sedan :)

    5.7 powered VW Beetle

    I did a double take the first time I saw a Chevy small block in a motorcycle. The guy told me it scared him sometimes, which I believed!

    Another can I tow this. Lol

    You should be fine but still get it all weighed.

    Sold the Limited

    Speaking of selling trucks…is there a place on here to do that? Selling the ‘21 2500 and giving up full time Rv-ing.

    2023 2500 Bed Protection

    I’ve had 5 trucks with spray in liners, including my ‘21 2500 that came with MOPAR spray in. I’ve never had a chip, ding or problem in any of them and that was with gravel, pitchforks removing mulch, hauling lumber, etc.

    I’ve had good luck in the past with autotrader. Actually getting ready to put my 2500 up for sale on there.

    Towing advice- 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn 4x4 5.7L

    Not an expert on tires but I would be inclined to use a 10ply designed for towing. Use a WDH, get weighed and check your payload and axle weights. Also check to make sure your hitch is rated for the weight you’ll be pulling. I’m guessing you’ll need a class 4 or 5. More info than you asked for...

    2023 Camping Season, what are your plans?

    After 2 1/2 years of fulltime in our 5W we’ll be selling it and my ‘21 2500 soon. Will probably buy a small house in central Florida and maybe buy a small Class C down the road. The last 2 summers we covered about 15,000 miles and saw so much of our beautiful country. Everyone enjoy camping, be...

    Brake controller setting

    I think my 2500 pulling about 10,500 lbs of 5W performs best at 7.

    I am looking at a 2012 1500. Would like some input

    I had a 2012 regular cab, 4.7 and 4wd. I put about 80k miles on it without a single issue. Towed my 20 foot camper well. I actually miss that truck, easy to maintain and loved the Ramboxes.

    TRX for plowing snow?

    My wife and I recently got a filet meal and a filet by itself at McD’s. Fifteen bucks!

    I found my window sticker

    Nice truck! I had a 2012 regular cab, 4.7 and Ramboxes. Never gave me an ounce of trouble and I still miss having it.

    price of gear swap 2500 6.4

    Everyone has an opinion but I would not pull that much weight with a 6.4 and 3.73’s. I pull about 10.5K with a loaded 5W, with my ‘21 2500 6.4 with 4.10’s. Does a great job but I wouldn’t consider 15K pounds, definitely diesel territory. Although I’d run out of payload first my truck is rated...

    side steps/running boards. Probably a dead horse, but hey.

    I put MOPAR chrome and black on my 2500 CC. Wheel to wheel and very sturdy. Closer to $600 but at least you know they will fit and look good on your truck
