Re: Wrong TV Rig???
Nice looking rigDitto to all the comments about sales just wanting to make sales and whatever you're driving will tow whatever they want to sell. Kudos to the dealer who wanted to know about the TV before the sale! Kudos to all who posted here, good stuff! Kudos to the folks who are educating sales people! My sales lady was great, in that she admitted when she didn't know stuff and either found out or referred me to people who did know.
I'm currently at the North Central Rally, and have towed my cyclone 4100 a little over 500 miles by now. The extra horse power (385) and torque (900) are very noticeable - no more hard downshifts on hills and on any terrain the tranny shifts ever so much more smoothly than the 2012; the extra cooling appears to be effective as it was HOT driving over here and engine and tranny temps stayed well within limits. I'm getting better fuel mileage than I ever got on my 2012. The new truck GCWR is much higher, like 8,000 lbs more than my 2012 - Chrysler/Dodge/Ram even sent appropriate paperwork documenting it.
So far I LOVE this truck.
I sprung for the Laramie Longhorn because, so help me, this is my LAST truck. Also got the factory air bags (more heavy duty than the aftermarket stuff) which work very well, and the cargo camera. I'm glad I made the switch, even if I have to scrimp a little because of it.
Pam named the truck 'Whiskers'; if the mirrors (like cat's whiskers) make it through, then the 'hips' (rear fenders) will, too.
