Bought a leftover 2018 3500 Ram

[Bigdaddy]

Will that go in your garage? bet it will not , my 1500 does not have much head room . Same color as mine, I was not thrilled with the color when I got it, but it was the best deal on the lot , new last yrs model, loaded spot, but I have come to like the color better.

Thank you, lol why yes it will go in the garage, it's a garage queen lol but yea when I first bought the flame red color it wasn't my first choice but it have grown on me. It was hard to pass this deal up I have been looking for a 3500 so when this came up I jump on it.

Looks great. Did those tires come with it? I have Transforce HT 245/70/17 which came with truck but need some AT tires. Do you know how much bigger I can go without effecting the ride to much?

My '18 3500 CC SRW big horn with 6.4 hemi and 4.10's pulls a small box trailer 95% of the time. I recently have been using it to move my 7900# mini-excavator with my gooseneck and I wish it either had more trans gears (8sp) or even lower gears. The auto trans in these trucks isn't optimized to work with the engine better in tow mode. Shift from 1st to 2nd isnt till around 4k rpm then 2nd to third is so quick it bogs down.

Thank you guys for all of your comments, well I went out today to hook up my new 2019 321RSTS Jayco 5th wheel before I take it out next month and here are the pics, it look like that it level out but I still need to drive it and see if I need anything else.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Here some more, and yes it is 37".

Gosh dang big daddy that's a biggin! Beautiful rig!

 

[Bigdaddy]

Thank you sir do you think that I need have or get some Timbrens or just leave it?

How much did it squat with all the trailer weight on it? If more than an inch or two, id probably put some air bags on it.

You could also make that call after the first trip with it. If it didn't squat an excessive amount and it's stable on the highway you could go without especially with the 3500

What's the gvwr on that beast?

Lol, thank you slacadjuster and yeah God have been good to me I owe it all to him, this was a great deal and with only 19 miles on it for a leftover 18's you just don't find that every day.

I'm not sure but I think it's 11,700 LBS, on the squat it was hard to tell because I was on a graver park but when we go out before I hook up and when we get where we are going I will check again. I had Firestone on my other one but if I do install them I will go with Airlift or the Timbrens but I want do nothing until I find out.

Nope, one doesn't find that kind of deal any day really. many happy years of motoring.
I love my 2015 Hemi Ram.
