2002 Liberty Limited and 2005 Fleetwood Pioneer 18T6

Our little Jeep has done admirably this year, taking us on 4 excursions, some of them over the 300 mile range. However, the trailer is just too much for our little rig. 18T6 is Rated 3700 Lbs, the Jeep at 5000 Lbs, however this doesn't speak to the trailer's frontal area - it really is a sail in the wind.

We're looking at upgrading to a larger TV in the spring with more:

Wheelbase (oh how I despise tour buses!)
Torque (no more turning 4000rpm @ 50 MPH in the slow lane uphill)
Interior Space (so my 5 year old stretch out without jamming her feet into the back of my seat)
Storage (2 12" bikes and the hatch is full in the Liberty)
Gears (see - Torque)

I had a 12' Ram Hemi Laramie, I really liked it but it beat my wifes post surgery back to death so I traded it in for our current 12' Chevy 1500, huge downgrade. I will be getting another Ram and it will be the ST model just like yours. Aside from the backup camera for hooking up the boat I never used or cared for all the bling in the Laramie. Beautiful truck you have there and I really like the look of it without the chrome.

I only tow a bullet premier that weighs about 4,500 to 6000 pounds. That is why I could not go for the extra $8000 and get diesel. I love this truck so far.

Great picture of your tow vehicle. What do you tow with it? Now having the entire set up in the picture would be great!

Here is a better photo

This is our 2012 Avalanche....I am sure you know all the specs, LOL

We had a 2003 and loved it. GM is making a big mistake by this being the last year for them.


Ok...I can't post the pic, LOL

Love the "smaller" Ford to the larger. We went from an F250 SRW to an F350 DRW, both white!

Wow, cool Rayford. You did just about the same thing we did. I went from an 08 350 to a 13 also, and from SRW to DRW. Only went the SC because we couldn't fit a CC.

Looks great. Hope it's working well for you. Our's is great for us.

Eco boost is cool and all, but you still got 1/2 ton payload.

My way of thinking is that the the F150 EB really gets a 3/4 ton pay load close to 3,000# with an 8,200 GVWR equals a truck that only weighs 5,200#, which means that you can easily have a tail that wags the dog.

That and it still has 1/2 ton running geat and semi floating rear axle.

Tows the rig just fine and I am sticking with it until the wife and I are ready to hopefully go full time one day

Nice truck, but come on, using a V6 to tow with. 😛 😄

That V6 has more HP than my 454 dually. Wow that is the first time I ever really thought about that.:h

And if I remember correctly it has more torque as well.

You could be right. I have a buddy that just bought one. I'll have to ask him what the specs were on it.

365 Hp @ 5000 rpms and 420 lbs of torque @ 2500 rpms (steady state/loaded). Power of a big block V8, fuel economy of small block V8. 😉

Used a straight 6 before that, both work awesome!
