What can I tow with a full ton SRW?
In a litany of other threads I had been pursuing a full ton DRW to handle a TC and maybe down the road a fifth wheel or large TT. But as I've been properly educated by the forum and other reading,...

Total sales price was $54,700, including destination but excluding RAM incentives and taxes.
Sounds like a really nice truck but the price is insane. Dennis Dillon in Idaho has a bunch of Tradesmen for $10K or more less. They may not have the HO engine with the Aisin but unless you are bumping right up against the SRW tow rating IMO it's a nice to have, not a need to have. They have a Laramie with the Aisin for about what your dealer wants for the Tradesman. Maybe you can use Dillon to get your dealer to back down aways on pricing. It might be a pain to go to southern Idaho to buy a truck sight unseen but probably worth it to save several thousand dollars.
yeah, I know they're way too high. I would leverage Dennis Dillion and Dave Smith and basically just get the cheapest deal I can. I see Dillion has a Tradesman with the AISIN and the rear air suspension and almost all of the other options this one has for $46k.
This local guy is actually pretty high volume, I think. Serves a large blue collar area with tons of work trucks, fleets, etc. So maybe he can match or come very close.
What are the after market mods that one can put on a vehicle like this (SRW) that would help the truck's payload? Tires? Air suspension?
