Recently, I purchased a 2014 RAM 3500SRW Mega Cab Diesel pickup and purchased the necessary adapter for the 5th wheel hitch mounting couplers built into the frame/bed. The truck does not have airbags which can be ordered on one. After having owned a 2004 Ford F350 6.0 liter with aftermarket airbags and towing a 2008 Bighorn 3600RL, there is no comparison for towing the same trailer. The trailer has close to 2000lbs pin weight and the trailer weighs in about 12,500lbs empty. The handling, braking, ride, and mileage are very impressive and the engine brake is AWESOME! The RAM is superior for towing hands-down. Why I did not get rid of my Ford sooner deserves ridicule but the 2014 RAM keeps me smiling!
Towing the same weight with the same truck, you are correct I am all smiles also. The Rams are a very impressive truck. Can't say I have towed with the other two, but IMO I can't imagine them doing any better job mileage, power , handling, and the Rams exhaust brake is second to none. Never had an idea what I was missing with an exhaust brake, would never go back.
