..... what will pull our 6444# 34foot trailer we really liked a 2013 2500 ram diesel workhorse....any thoughts? Good or bad??
1st time behind the wheel of a truck and man that diesel made this mamma happy!!
A properly equipped 150/1500 or any of the 250/2500 gas trucks will handle this trailer. I used to tow a similar sized TT with a Chevy 2500HD, 6.0L gas engine. The combo worked very well. The engine did have to rev pretty good in the hills (about 4,000RPM) but it was dependable and always did the job.
Certainly the Ram 2500 with Cummins is more truck than you need to pull that trailer. But.....just because it is plenty of truck doesn't mean you shouldn't get it. Having an abundance of power and capacity isn't a bad thing. If the truck meets your budget it will pull your TT just and should be a very comfortable experience. I love my Ram and it pulls my 5th wheel extremely well.
