I’m still in “wait & see” mode. FWIW, Service Advisor recommended against it and it’s not required (yet) where I live. I’m on my third Cummins 6.7L and not one of them has given me any trouble so I don’t know why I’d want anyone messing with it, other than routine maintenance. BTW, there are...

The (GVWR) wet weight of my travel trailer is 7,600 lbs (and I carry most of the heavy stuff in the bed of my truck anyway when we’re towing). Still, I like some extra strength due to unexpected conditions (high winds, evasive maneuvers, etc). I’ll just have to keep a close watch on the...

Hmmm... I haven’t towed with my ‘18 yet, might have to buy another Reese Titan Class V. Safety means everything to me.

I could destroy the world with a screwdriver so I pay others to work on my Ram. I had the old receiver cut out on my ‘12 and replaced with the Reese Titan Class V. I could have gone the cheaper route and ended up with two receivers but that looks ugly to me and it would irritate me every time...

FWIW, I replaced the hitch receiver (with a Reese Titan Class V from etrailers) on my ‘12 Ram 3500 before I ever towed with it (as the older receivers had a bad reputation of not holding up). I was ready to replace the receiver on my ‘18 Ram 3500 when I bought it but evidently the problem was...

Beautiful truck. Go big or go home!

Thank you. My family arrived in Texas in 1845. Most of my family are still spread across the Republic of Texas. I moved here after a hitch in the Army to be nearer to my Dad, who moved here while I was overseas.

Thanks. I haven’t towed with my ‘18 yet but when I towed with our ‘12 it would have been easy to forget our trailer was even back there. Easily towed across Wyoming at 80 mph (on the Interstates). I had Titan replacement fuel tanks installed on them (56 gal. on the ‘12, 52 gal. on the ‘18).

I transferred to the dry side 34 years ago & I seldom make it to the west side these days. I kinda got the feeling at the Battle of Seattle I wasn’t welcome...

Only have pics of my ‘12 & ‘18, I haven’t towed with the ‘18 yet.

I’m new here but not to Rams. I bought my first Dodge Ram new in 1985, a W350 that I loved but had to sell since I needed an extended cab for the baby. (It was underpowered but I still regret selling it, it was a beautiful truck.) The next Ram I bought was a 2009 Ram 3500 6.7L CCSB 4x4 and I...

The irony of the whole thing was I traded in my ‘12 Ram 3500 Big Horn (w/~50,000 mi) because the warranty expired. I had never had a single problem with itbut I was being (too) cautious. Back in the ‘80’s I made the mistake of buying an extended warranty (not from the manufacturer) on a Ford...

I snapped the front driveshaft on my Ram when it was relatively new and still under warranty. I was driving in deep snow in 4-Low when it occurred, yet the service advisor accused me of hitting a rock which did not happen. I was in my driveway and there are no large rocks or boulders in it...

I’ve been RVing for 35 years, always travel trailers because I like the option of storing stuff under the canopy and SRW because we get a lot of snow in the winter. I prefer to travel light but if I towed a 5th Wheel I would prefer DRW due to the increased stability on the highway.
