I know most folks that own these heavy 5'ers have class 8 tow vehicles. Any danger towing with the Ram? Getting a 4.10 rear gear would allow 22K towing capacity.
Thanks!
Not sure where your towing info is coming from, but my ex 2012 Ram dually CC 4.10 was only rated for 19500. That is one of the reasons I upgraded to a 2014, with a 3.73 and the Aisin transmission, I can tow 23,500.
