Just did 5k wandering miles from KS to Nova Scotia and back.
New truck 2018 Ram Tradesman 3500 DRW Crew Cab 4wd, Aisin Trans/w 11.8 rear 3.73 gearing, $ 51k for the truck. I replayed an 2001 3500 DRW 4wd truck.
Installed Timbrens and Torklift tie downs myself with Fastguns on the new truck. I had the same issue with a bolt hole being too small on the tie downs, I drilled it out larger and it was still super easy and huge savings from having a dealer do it.
Hauled an AF 1140 (heavy camper, 5200#) with zero issues. The Timbrens were a must-have item. I would not have tried the trip with a SRW truck.
Average fuel 11.8mpg
