I don't want to lead this thread a stray, but here is one... Promise I won't put anymore on this thread. Don't want to take away from the RAMs working!
And at least there is a RAM the pulls the race trailer when it's not behind the motorhome!
Moving a 34' trailer the day after I got it. No I didn't drive it down the road like this.... just moved it from one side of the property to the other
Since these pictures I've added Airlift 1000 bags and a WirelessOne compressor. I hated how much it sagged before and the handling wasn't great that way either. I've only towed once since the bags but it was definitely a lot nicer with them.
Only picture I have of my truck actually working, used it several times to haul things around but no pictures.
Yes, I am towing a U-Haul trailer but that is a queen sized bed in my bed and the U-haul had a love seat, sofa and various other apartment items so it was fully packed. Never noticed a thing going up hills, gotta love that Hemi!
Trailer is a Keystone Sprinter 266rbs. It is a little on the heavy side at 6500 dry and 29.5 tongue to bumper. It is only the wife and I, no kids to pack for so should be good on the weight. Brought it home yesterday. Truck did good until the final hill which is brutal for anything loaded or unloaded. Even unloaded the fastest you can go is about 30mph bc its so steep. Had to go up in first gear second just didn't have the power. Highest trans temp seen during the 1 hr trip home was 156F on that hill until then its was 136F

I've been looking for this set up for a while now. Everyone we looked at has bunks which is great if you have kids but for me its a waste. Almost bought a different trailer last week, good thing we couldn't settle on a price bc i wouldn't own this one. We love the lay out its really perfect for us. Got about 9.4mpg (evic) on the way home which was a little stop and go but mostly 45-50 mph rolling hills. Wasn't to bad about what I expected, until we hit the bottom of the hill we live on which is about 2 miles straight up then went down to 8.4. Thank god for the 32 gallon tank.
. I really wasn't a fan of the white when I got the truck but it was a good deal and i'm not real picky. Glad it is white now because it does match pretty good.
