Yea, but I’d take a 2500 with 6.0 over a 1500 any day. All the power in the world does no good if the vehicle can’t handle it, especially when towing. I can’t imagine pulling the SA on my old 1500 Chevy, it would definitely do it but I’d be getting my ass handed to me on gas, bumps, hills... momentum is a big factor in towing. Lol
It pulled the 06 great, but you knew it was there and that thing was maybe 5500 maxed out on the trailer? These newer boats alone are heavier than an older rig with the trailer.
Heck, my Cummins can feel the SA, it doesn’t care, but you for sure know it’s back there.Last edited by Broke Pilot; 06-21-2018 at 06:19 PM.

Yeah, I will always stick with the 2500 for weight capacities...just the 6.2 next time. I was only getting 6.5 MPH, so gas is not my concern. lol. I would like a diesel, but I drive a car to work and my truck sits most of the year. Quite frankly don’t put enough miles on to keep a diesel running right. Plus that extra $15k is hard to stomach for two 4 hour tows per year.

Seriously, I thought it was in the Denali version. What a bunch of crap! I don’t understand why they wouldn’t offer the bigger motor in a vehicle rated tow more. Maybe I will look at a another brand or at least the bigger rear end.

Ouch... yea I’m dreading mine. Already over 20k in the first year with it. Almost 8k since I lifted it. I’m hoping I can make the ball joints last longer than 60! Lol
What all are they doing?
When mine comes time for that, if it gets that torn down, I’m gonna go ahead and re-gear to 4.10’s and put Tru-Trac’s in.Overkill is underrated

Yeah their front ends do suck, got 100k out of the factory balls joints, put Carli ball joints on, now have 240k and still tight as can be, running 37 13.50s with a -14 offset, but have done several other work trucks between 80k - 150k on factory ball joints, running factory tires leveled.

I haven’t looked in a while but I’m hoping someone releases (if they haven’t already) some offset ball joints for the 4th gen Ram.
But my rims are only -10 offset, I don’t like the ‘stance’ look all that much. Lol and I want a decent size tire with no rubbing!Overkill is underrated
