    Need to make buying decision based on towing; Please help!

    I'd be looking at Ram 2500 with the 6.4 engines with the Ford and 6.2 engines as a close second. THe 2500 is going to be so much more enjoyable to drive and the 6.4 has plenty of power for your needs. The truck in the attached link is exactly what I'd buy. I currently own a 2015 Ram 2500...

    Cargo Trailers

    Is the OP using it as a Travel Trailer only or is he also bring toys with him. I don't see the benefit in converting a cargo trailer into a travel trailer. Especially to make it have a walk on roof. Not sure of the benefit of a walk on roof anyways considering what would need to be done to...

    New Wheels and Tires on 2017 Ram 1500 4x4

    That has ben the debate in my head all along. I actually need to ask my son if he uses the steps. I know i use them when i drive the truck but iu'm old, so there's that. I know they look better without them but can appreciate their use. We'll see what he chooses.

    New Wheels and Tires on 2017 Ram 1500 4x4

    The tires he knew and the wheels were a surprise. The factory Laramie 20" plastic chit were terrible so that was a helpful incentive too. We all appreciate you doing well at work. Your WIfe will appreciate it for sure.

    Actually, you are so right. He's a good kid and doing real well with distance learing even though he hates it. We even flew out of state to take the ACT tests. THis was necessary to get the academic scholarships he as received so far from the Universities he's applied to. Enough to pay for...

    How far would you feel comfortable traveling with this setup? (pictures)

    I read the first couple pages and replied. Here are my thoughts. Your trailer is 4676 lbs, roughly. It shows your Payload for the trailer ot be 2924#. Couple things; that seems like an unusually large payload number considering the size of the trailer. Even with a long vacation and tanks...

    Tie Down Solution?

    I always though something like a SS boat cleat in each corner would be ideal. The larege 6"-8" sizes but i just don't know how the best way to attach them so they can hold a heavy taught load. On my last truck I used about a 20" length of nylon strap and tied a squar knot in it as a loop and...

    5x139???

    Is it me or is it very difficult to find this lug pattern on any wheel website any more. Seems every site has gone to marketing the 6 lug Ram 1500 wheel options? Would be nice to see what is available anymore with this lug pattern for my 2017 1500.

    ICON kit or Bilstein 5100 setup?

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice. It looks like most favor the Icon kit and I think you are right about doing the rear too. I'll be doing new wheels and tires later this summer so will definitely get with Nick for purchase when the time comes. Thanks again, it was helpful.
