I own a 2019 1500 Laramie Crew Cab. 5.7 HEMI 3.21 axle ratio. It pulled my old camper like a dream at 3050 pounds. My NEW travel trailer is 4500 pounds unloaded, dual axle. I don't load it up. I travel pretty light. The issue I have is with high RPM'S. Seems I have to crawl on the highway at 60mph or hit 3500 rpms or MORE on hills. It's not "comfortable" to me. The truck struggles. I'm thinking about trading trucks. I'm looking for a 2500 gas but I don't want to break the bank. They are hard to come by. I'm wondering if I choose a 1500 with a 5.7 and a 3.92 axle ratio. Will it help to reduce rpms? I don't want to fly down the road but sometimes I like to drive the speed limit, 68 or 70.
Much appreciated. BTW, I've owned this truck for 2.5 years and I LOVE it. The Harmon Kardon is the DEAL. This is my 4th RAM
Thank you
