Hi All,
Just traded in my beloved 2010 Toyota Tundra for a 2021 RAM 2500 Laramie Cummins Diesel. I tow a 22ft Alumaweld fishing boat and a 22ft Outdoor RV travel trailer. Loved my Tundra for all the around town stuff I do and house projects. Couldn't ask for a more dependable rig. Unfortunately, when towing long distances the 5.7 iForce V8 just wasn't suitable for my needs. Main concerns were MPG went down to 7, 10 if I added a fuel additive and used high octane fuel. The other concern was mileage between fueling, at 200 miles I was getting desperate for a gas station. So after lots of research and talking with other diesel owners of various makes I pulled the trigger on the "hummin Cummins." I haven't towed yet, still working on break-in miles, (500). I went with the 6'4" bed for the smaller wheelbase and tighter turning radius for maneuvering through tight camp sites and boat ramps. We also trailer to Canada and the BC ferry system charges on a per length and height of rig bases. Not for the faint of wallet. Anyway, I think this will make a wonderful towing platform once I get all my accessories added, canopy, running boards, bumper step, bug guards, window louvers, etc. Ha!
