Thinking of a new Ram
I tow an Arctic Fox at 9700# ready to go camping which includes 1200# tongue weight. Does the 2500 with rear coils tow OK or is it somewhat squirmy? Thanks, DJ

What ever model you get the rear air system is a must!
Unless you live in a cold climate. Can't hardly give the things away up here where I live. They all fail at -40*. Dealers typically order their stock without them. A friend of mine had a Ram 1500 limited with 4 corner air. It failed within, then again just after warranty. Repair bill was $3600ish. No thanks.
Who the HE!! Lives in those conditions???spoon059 wrote:ib516 wrote:

I'd fail long before -40 degrees, let alone the air ride suspension. That's why I have a camper, so I can escape the 20 degree temps. 60 degrees colder? You are out of your mind...
Haha, you wussies! I live in those conditions for a few months a year. I also work in them (LEO). We just hope no one has a serious crash when it's like that outside because you can only be outside a little while at a time. The uniform and the requirement to be able to always have access all your use of force options (gun belt) means you can't bundle up like you should to be outside in that weather.
Heck, I have tent camped, and camped without a tent using just a cheap tarp for shelter at -33*C (-28*F). You just need the right gear (sleeping bag and mat(s)).
Camped ,and hunted in 0 and below several times, at 10,000 feet it gets chilly. Tent ,and a good sleeping bag back in the day, not so much now days . ATV's and lower elevation in a fifth wheel suits me just fine these days.:)
