DOWNgrading truck - sanity check please
Hi All. Advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I currently have 2011 Ram 2500 Hemi w/4.10 rear axle. 11400# towing, 2300#payload. RV is 23’ Shamrock hybrid 4900# dry, 6200# ...

The OP has a 5.7 Hemi in a 3/4 ton truck that weighs close to 7000 lbs dry.
Moving to an F150 3.5 10 sp with 3.55 gears will net him not only a much nicer ride but will easily give him better mpg's.
He's sick of having problems with his truck and like most of us would probably want to do the same.
It's not really a positive money move, but how many on here trade in their RV's for a newer floor plan? It's still a losing proposition. He daily drives his truck so why not have comfort and a more enjoyable DD?
