NC Hauler,mine is about the same on towing-had to watch myself ha ha!-it would go as fast as I wanted with little effort-mpg on the trip was 9.4 (heavy headwind) to 11.9-I was pleased how easy it tows!-hope you enjoy it as I know I am!-whsk
whsk, I was pleasantly surprised at how the truck built up to speed and maintained quiet easily...In the mountains/hills of the interstate, I rarely, if ever used Cruise, just because of the downshifting, going up and down, up and down, and though the truck still downshifted, it was much smoother than I thought it would be...All in all, I believe that Ram, with the new frame, new front and rear suspension and the Aisin tranny have built themselves a really great TV.
picture frame adapter held my hitch into place perfectly....I had to lower the hitch one set of holes due to the frame being higher than the regular rails that the hitch originally set on. I don't have the height I'd like to have, ( 5"), but I backed into my driveway without hitting the bed rails and I back into an uphill driveway and when I left my camp, I had to pull up a short steep hill at an angle and still cleared, but just barely...Will debate on raising hitch back up one more notch, but would be a little high in the front end then...So, still a work in progress:)
