Another new tow rig

[9one1_]

New tow rig! Long story but traded the 11 Super Duty with the 6.7 a few years ago after putting the trailer on a seasonal site. I then bought a 15 Silverado 1500 crew cab LTZ.

Fast forward to now. I got tired of the seasonal game and shitty neighbors and missed traveling. The Chevy really would have struggled with the trailer having a loaded ready to camp weight of 8420lbs and a tongue weight of 1200 lbs. Payload on the Chevy I was 1680 lbs thanks to the LTZ crew cab configuration.

So not wanting to the expense of another diesel although the Cummins would have been great I went with my first Dodge/Ram with the 6.4 Hemi. I could not find one equipped like I wanted with the 4.10 gears so I settled for the 3.73. It is still rated at over 12K lbs and with a payload of 2890lbs it should do fine.

Anyways her she is....






The camper after 8 hours scrubbing the 3 years of seasonal sitting grime off it it.

Nice Truck!

Good buy there!

Don't worry about the 3.73's. You've got a 6-speed transmission which makes it tow like it's got 4.30's anyway.

I actually think the 18" Laramie wheels are the best looking one RAM offers. I steered away from the 20" because of looks and higher tire replacement cost.

Congrats and thank you! She should tow that TT very well and give you room to up grade if you want to!

Nice truck, I love a white truck! I bought mine used and it was gray. Every time I see a white Ram HD I feel a little remorse...

Congrats! I bought mines last May and I am glad I did, we pick up a Denali 287REL and it's 8,300 unloaded, the ram tow it like it's not even back their I had to order mines with the 4.10 gears.

Yes they're very nice wheels. Put a set of takeoffs on my 07. I don't like that there are plastic inserts in each hole, but mine still look like new after 2 easy years. Black ones.
Hauled my 4500lb camper. X country, OE tires, without issue too, so their he stout enough

It is kinda weird they use those plastic inserts but the look good. One of the better looking HD wheels.
