We have a 2011 Montana Mountaineer and are about to buy a 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel. Would you recommend we get a 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive? We are concerned about the height of the 4 wheel drive truck.
I would say it all depends on what you are doing with it. I wouldn't buy 2 wheel drive just for this issue. I would make a 4x4 work. But that's me not you. I like 4x4 and have used it when pulling my 5er. I believe the resale is better and I may live in an area that I need it in the winter. I hope to not be in snow again but I wont have to change trucks if something in my plans changes.
I have an 18,000 pullrite hitch. My hitch plate is sitting at 55 1/2 in and the bed rail at the wheel opening is 56 1/2 in and the tailgate is 57 1/2 at the center. This may vary a little because of the driveway I'm in etc. I have about 550 pounds in the back.
