    dodge 2500 diesal fuel milage

    I have a 2014 3500 CCLB SRW and get 10-13 pulling my Sundance. There isn't much difference in the price of a 2500 vs 3500. I would go to 3500 for the extra payload. Just traded my 12' 2500 so I would have more wiggle room on payload for the future. As mentioned above, you get an extra 1500 lbs...

    Towing a 3750fl

    What year is your truck. My 2014 Ram 3500 SRW has a payload of 4,400lbs with long bed and 3.42 rear end. I would consider that not all passengers go into the payload but some will transfer to the front axle. My rear axle is rated at 7,000lbs. You should tow it fine but you should research the...

    You can go up to the 3500 SRW and have around 4400lbs of payload. That is what I just did. Not mention difference in the ride of the two trucks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Big Step - Ordered the truck.

    I did look at a 2015 3500 DRW truck this week while traveling and did notice that it had a different rear differential cover on the Aisin. I do believe the 3500 in DRW has a larger 11.8 rear vs the 11.5 in 3500 SRW. That could be where the difference. Thanks for helping a newbie learn more...

    Big Step - Ordered the truck.

    Now you have my curiosity up and maybe you can help answer this. Why would the Aisin in SRW have almost 4000lb less towing capacity than the DRW? I am looking at this from the same perspective of the difference between the SRW and DRW with 3.42's towing capacity being almost the same. I...

    I stand corrected. I was looking at the 68RFE not the Aisin. I didn't realize there was that much difference between the two Transmissions. Glad you pointed that out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Big Step - Ordered the truck.

    Yes I agree. I like the truck you ordered and I think you will love it. I drive mine a lot as a daily driver therefore I felt the Aisin was overkill for me. We only tow on weekends and vacations so I felt the 68RFE was good for us. If I was towing all of the time, I would have done just what you...

    Big Step - Ordered the truck.

    SRW only have 3.42's but DRW's can have either 3.42,3.73, or 4.10 from what I have researched on ram's website. I just got a 3500 14' a month ago and debated all of the differential options but I preferred a SRW and in the end it has more towing capacity than the DRW with 3.42's. Payload is...

    Tire Size Question

    I put Duravis R250 235/85/16 on my Sundance. The tires are closer together than the towmax. I had about 2500 miles on the TowMax before 1 blew. Not sure you will have room for the chocks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Dodge Ram 3500 Question

    I just traded my 2012 2500 CC SB with a pullrite slider. My 12' was a tradesman. This truck I opted for 2014 3500 CCLB SRW Big Horn with 20" tires. Had the dealer install a 25k B&W hitch with puck mounts. Also added steps and bed liner. The 2500 had 3.73 but SRW in the newer models is only...

    SHORT!!! Wheelbase question

    Given that I have little knowledge of the F100 I have a couple of questions. 1) if the hitch is behind the axle, will there be enough weight on the front axle to keep contact of the tires to the road on a bumpy road 2) will you have enough turning clearance around the pinbox to the cab of the...
