Good looking rig. Thanks for the input. Starting to lean more towards the Dodge.

Thanks for the earlier compliment.

First thing ya need to get used to is it's officially a RAM. Been that way legally since 2013.

I can honestly tell you this truck handles the 32,500# combined load I have with ease. I am on my way to Elkhart, IN from SoCal. Along the way there are some very long 6 percent grades up and down and windy roads. Once we came onto I-40 at Flagstaff we decided to cover some ground and towed 75mph. There are some nice short grades along the way. I passed every trucker on any grade we were on. The slowest we dropped to was 70 in 5th. The trans temp never exceeded 167 even with temps in the low 90's. Water temp dropped rapidly whenever the fan kicked in. Not going to BS the mileage was 7.4 hand calc towing at 75 but was worth the small extra expense.

The Cummins, Aisin, 4.10 combo can't be beat along with the high front, rear and combined ratings. The rear air ride is worth the $1,350 they charge for it. It keeps the truck sitting in a nice level stance loaded or not. Plus the ride is great for a big truck.

Ar far as the quality of the truck is concerned it is quiet, rattle free and the fit and finish is top notch. The interior of the LongHorn is second to none, Limited is pretty nice also.

If you take a RAM dually for a test drive be sure they air down the rear tires to 35 so you can see what it will ride like running around solo. That is more then enough pressure for an empty truck.

Hope I answered your question.
