New RAM short Box and B&W RVK3600 in rear most position
Anyone tow with a new ram and have their RVK3600 set to the 4" behind the axle position. If so, how is it working out? Chris

You must be buying a new truck. I will only be able to say this about what we saw once. Towing up 93 coming home we were behind a fifth that was all over the road because of the side wind. This wind was not doing anything to us. Because of not being able to pass we followed and I told my wife the truck must be over loaded. Lagging back I could tell it was a single RW truck.
When we passed I saw the truck was a 2500 dodge flat bed with the hitch at the rear. Many flat bed truck that I have seen are either a 350 or 450 truck not a 2500. The driver of what we saw must have hated that day.

Today's SRW trucks with 18" tires rated to 3638 are not yesteryear's trucks. Suspension and frames have been greatly improved also. And they are heavy!
3500 SRW, rated 11,700 GVWR, Tow rating 17,100, Max load 3,953, GCWR 25,300, 385hp and 865 ft lbs with Aisin transmission.
Probably is higher in GVWR than our older dually, as it appears it has a 11,400 GVWR and 16K 5th wheel or gooseneck rating.
