Anyone pulling a Montana 3120 with a SRW short bed?

"The TPMS probably won't like running the tires at 30 psi. "

My RAM DRW TPMS does not care one bit what air pressure I run. Even if it were a 3500 SRW it would not care either. Only time you would get a ding and light is on a 2500.

YES he is correct there are many that run what their side wall says. What's more funny is when they wonder why their ride is so BAD.

If roads were real bad, slow down and put it into 4 wheel high and motor on passing all the little 4x4 SUVs in the medium.

My friend in NW WA has a 13 RAM DRW he uses for his Landscaping Business. I asked him how his truck did in the snow this winter.

"It handled awesome with 30psi in the rear tires doing my snow melt and sidewalk shoveling maintenance."

It is those that run their DRW tires at 80 psi, because that is what is on the sidewall!

Thanks for the great advice guys. We love the Montana layout but it's a bit much for my truck. We are starting to look smaller, maybe a Jayco Eagle HT 27RS. I wanna stay with the SRW because we'll always want to campout on the OSV at Assateague Island and I prefer my truck than a DRW on the beach. My goal is to keep the truck camper for beach use and have the 5er for non coastal expeditions. I'm investigating the Anderson Ultimate 5th wheel hitch which will keep the bed clear, with minimal work, for the TC. So many options, thankfully retirement is a couple years away yet, lol.
Thanks again
Peace

I know this is getting off topic for OP, but I have 1400# of tube sand over axle, 60 psi in stock tires. Guess I could lower them more, but now that winter is winding down, no need to.

Even with 30-35 psi in the rears you would still have more carrying capacity than you have with the sand in the bed. I run 30 rears on my RAM DRW when not towing year round.

Take a look at your specific tire size and load range weight/inflation chart. I used to run less than 60 with 4,500# pin weight.

you must be the only one who thinks they are fine in the snow[ all 3 of mine have sucked and they are even worse when taken out on the beach the hard sidewall tires do not help either .............quote=Michelle.S]Everyone always says Duallys are no good in snow.
