Do I have enough goat?... I mean Ram......
As a preamble: I have a Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. I have the automatic 8 speed tranny... long story short... I'm rated at 8,150 towing, and 1,650 payload. It is what it is, and such shall it be.....

When fully aired up, the P rated tires do a respectable job. I would stick with them until it's time for new ones, then consider upgrading. Because I live in snow country, I'll be upgrading to those LTs before next Winter. The OEM Goodyear SRAs that come on these Rams are not impressive in snow and ice.
I added the OEM brake controller after the fact and couldn't be happier. It's the smoothest braking I've ever experienced. Virtually no herky-jerky. However, there have been reports of inadequate braking when using the OEM one in conjunction with heavy duty trailer axles. That shouldn't be an issue with a 1500 though, since such a trailer would be way too heavy in the first place.
