I just got back from almost a 2,000 mile trip, which was the first long tow for my 2016 Ram 2500 gasser. I thought some on the gas vs diesel fence might be interested in how well this gasser tows my almost 35' Columbus fiver (tall profile, 13"4" high...
I had a blowout on my way home on Memorial Day. I had gone over 1,800 miles of our 2,000 mile trip and was getting close to home. Rear tire on passenger side blew. Got the estimate yesterday and damage about $3K. I never want this to happen again. I ...
We want to spend a week in mid May and do the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with our friends. I am hoping someone can give me a good suggestion on the best or most centralized campground to stay in. We would prefer something within about 40 miles or so of ...

Posted this in another thread in 2017 after first long trip. I am way heavier than you and it does good in eastern US. I have not towed above about 5,000 feet yet so still don't know how well it will do in Colorado passes. I just got back from almost...
Look into Motion X GPS app for iPhone. Costs $1.99 at App Store and there is no subscription required. You can download maps for use when there is no cell service. It will allow you to use tracks like a portable GPS. The offline maps you download can...
At 7K# either will probably do fine. My truck has the 6.4 Hemi and 4.10, but I tow a high profile 5er that weighs about 12,500 #. It has done a fine job in the eastern mountains (TN and KY areas) and over a 2,000 mile trip I averaged 8 mpg towing the...
