Another new tow rig
New tow rig! Long story but traded the 11 Super Duty with the 6.7 a few years ago after putting the trailer on a seasonal site. I then bought a 15 Silverado 1500 crew cab LTZ.
Fast forward to now. I got tired of the seasonal game and shitty neighbors and missed traveling. The Chevy really would have struggled with the trailer having a loaded ready to camp weight of 8420lbs and a tongue weight of 1200 lbs. Payload on the Chevy I was 1680 lbs thanks to the LTZ crew cab configuration.
So not wanting to the expense of another diesel although the Cummins would have been great I went with my first Dodge/Ram with the 6.4 Hemi. I could not find one equipped like I wanted with the 4.10 gears so I settled for the 3.73. It is still rated at over 12K lbs and with a payload of 2890lbs it should do fine.
Anyways her she is....
The camper after 8 hours scrubbing the 3 years of seasonal sitting grime off it it.
