I am considering buying a 2 wd Ram diesel 2500 truck for towing my 5th wheel trailer. Late model trucks have much higher tailgates than older model 2500 trucks like my 2005 diesel Ram. Just curious how others have addressed the clearance issues between the pin box and the tailgate. I do have a small amount of additional height that I can gain on the jack plates by lowering the axles, but that is only 2 inches. Tires on the 5th wheel are 15 inches. I know that I could do an axle flip but looking for other options also. Thanks.
What is the height of the truck you are considering? My '04 2500 is at 52". What dealer in Houston has a 2wd truck? I can't find any anywhere?
Found 4 late model, used, Ram diesel, two wheel drives which have SLT or higher trim levels in the entire state over the last month or so! There seems to be a few more Ram Tradesman 2 wheel drive models available than the other trim levels. There appears to be about 200 4x4 diesels for every one 4x2 diesel for sale!
