Pulls well. We haven't really challenged the truck with it yet- just have gone between PA/NJ and Florida. Come August, we'll leave Florida and head west for the Balloon Fiesta in October. I'll finally get a feel for how she pulls.
I will say, you can definitely tell the improvements from the 2012 Ram I had before to this one. I was over on a few ratings on that truck which is what led me to upgrading to the 2018 Ram.
