I have a brand new 2024 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Laramie with the air bag suspension (Christmas Present!!). At 842 Miles I towed a 16' loaded car trailer (10,000#) w/hydraulic brakes. Hitting a bump, just before a curve, caused the trailer to sway uncontrollably resulting in a jack-knife into a fence...

My original stock Firestone Trans tires were wearing so much more on the rear at 8,000 miles than the front that I decided not to rotate them at that point. This is because I have not been overly happy with the handling and steering of these tires on the front, especially on wet roads and...

Hello all, I’m new to RAMS and got a 2012 2500 5.7 and the hitch receiver is definitely bent downward and to the side. I’m looking at aftermarket hitches but it looks to me like all the aftermarket fit only the diesel trucks. Any good recommendations on a place to find an A/M hitch? Thank you!

Recently upgraded from a Chevy 1500 to a Ram 2500. The receiver height is much higher on the RAM. Who has made the same transition and how much drop did you need to add to your weight distribution hitch to keep your camper ride level?

Interested in everyone's views on the new Ram 2500 HD towing. Is it worth switching from a 2015 3/4 ton to a 2020 3/4 ton? I am currently towing around 12,000 pounds but some times it gets closer to 18,000 pounds. Would stay with the 6.4 Hemi. Don't need the extra costs of the diesel. I...
