Thought I'd share my find. Been a Ram/Dodge family for a long time. This is my first Ram dually and first diesel. We have a Grand Design Momentum 31G TT toy hauler on order. This truck showed up at exactly the right time for us. Auto level truck with all the towing goodies. Has 179k on the clock but looks new. No clue how anyone puts that many miles on something and it still looks like this. Guessing it was a hot shot truck.

My 2 boys together. I've had the OBS dually for a long time. I lvoe the old thing and will be keeping it. The Ram is a beast in comparison.

I have some goodies to add. Some on hand and some on order. I already tinted the front door glasses and added the windshield brow.

The list so far of things to come...

Switch the clearance lights to clear led

Weathertech full floor mats

Mopar remote start

Katskin leather kit

Heated front seats kit

Aftermarket Laramie Longhorn grille

Aftermarket 2019 style projector headlights

Bed cover (Leaning toward Peragon but still in debate)

OBD Jscan app with vgate iCar bluetooth Pro OBD dongle

Hahaha... I suppose I'll have to be. At least we got the TPIS sorted out. Someone at some point played Jenga with all the tires and wheels. Took a good bit to get all that in order for all 6 including 4 new sensors. Next project is to attempt getting them all to the same psi. lol...

I have virtually the same truck only a 2018. When I load our 16K 5th wheel I run 75 psi front and 65 psi rear. Unloaded, I run the same 75 in the fronts, but drop the rears to 35 psi. My rear axle weight is around 4000 lbs and according to the weight/pressure chart, the 4 rear tires support the load.
My advice is to weigh your truck and adjust pressure accordingly. You will get better life an improved ride along with having full tread contact.

Little preview of trailer #1. The dually's main job is the still on order toy hauler but we wanted a nice enclosed trailer for our '19 Honda Talon and '85 FL350R Odyssey. In June we ordered a 20' Haulmark Edge race trailer with a decent number of bells and whistles. It arrived at our trailer dealer this evening. I'll get some better pics tomorrow but couldn't resist driving up there to see it.

Thanks! I'm super excited to get it. Really impressed with Haulmark's quality. This is our 3rd trailer from them.

That is a bad ass trailer! Similar to my Pace but what is that door in the front floor for? Storage or you have a winch installed?

If they can put you in a large swing door on the left side for when you drive you car in you can open the door making it super easy to load and unload your machine.

Nice trailer man. Bet that was about 15k or so

Thanks. The spare is in that floor compartment. It was $17k with the extra bells and whistles. The trailer is for our off road toys. We're replacing a 7' wide enclosed that was a pain in the rear with the extra width on the Honda Talon. This 8.5' wide trailer should be a breeze to load and unload.

Spare tire compartment, of course. Ok that makes sense. Those trailers that have all those light upgrades and cabinets are unbelievable but expensive. Super nice trailer man.

Look into having that wide door installed on the left as it makes loading and unloading cars or side by sides about 10 times easier if your fat like me and can’t squeeze out. Maybe you won’t need it idk but that’s really a top notch trailer. Do you have the floor lighting in the D rings that shine up?

Did not do the floor lighting. Figured I had to draw the line somewhere. lol... Haulmark has upgrade packages with a bunch of stuff. This is the "Sportsman" package. $6113.00 worth. The only things I added to the package were 4 led work lights in the ceiling coves, the rear spoiler with the loading lights and the spare. I'm installing E track as soon as I pick it up. We use the over the tire straps so they are super easy. I've been climbing in and out over the tires like freakin' Tarzan in the other trailer so guessing this one will be way easier than that.

I’m assuming your upgraded package has the inverter and shore power plug?
