Hello all,
I have a new to me 2013 ram 2500 limited with the 5.7 Hemi and 3.73 gears. It currently has 35x12.5 r17s toyo AT tires (that measure out to 33.5 at 60 psi) and a 2in leveling kit.
going off the spec sheet the truck is rated for 11,290 max towing. but that's with the stock tires of course.
I would like to tow a TT up to 7-8k up 6% grades and be able to hold at least 50mph with some throttle to spare if needed. Do you think that the truck is capable of doing that as the truck sits now? If not would moving down to something like 285/70/17 help? stock was 265/70/17. I would prefer not to re-gear or tune the truck, but if I do, it is what it is I suppose
Me and the wife will be looking at trailers and would like a idea of what size trailer to get. been reading mix experiences of how this truck tows with larger tires. I already know that it has trouble holding 65 with cruise control going up some mild grades.
Any advise would be appreciated.
