Yes, get the Uconnect 5.0 with the back up camera. It will not help you with the 5er at all but comes in very handy when parking or hooking up a regular trailer.

Honestly, even though you're stepping down in power (maybe) you're going from a 4 speed to a 6 speed. I think your towing experience will be very similar.

One thing I'll add. When i was having the roof replaced they obviously had to take the ladder off. While off and relaxed they found a crack in it that wasn't visible when it was mounted.

It did. It was straight down when I hooked up, guessing a kid snagged it. It was crossing the vent at a 45 when I found it.

I've always cut if off if we leave but Murphy came at night !!!

Now I'm all for weighing a setup to get a hitch dialed in, that's one thing. I've had mine on the scales for exactly that.

The RAM 2500 to 3500 are identical minus the rear suspension. The 2500 has a coil setup vs. traditional leafs on the 3500.

Are you guys seriously implying that a 32BHDS or any TT period is a questionable load for a modern 3/4 truck ??? That's a first for even the most extreme weight police.

We're possibly looking at ordering a 355 soon. I was wondering if anyone was pulling one with a 2500/250 ? I know it'll be close as the numbers go. RAWR will be fine though. I've got a 2015 Ram...

Short answer. No, not enough truck at all. Sure there are a FEW half tons that are capable, but only on paper in my opinion.

I (think) it's in the radio settings for all models. Mine is a Tradesman and that's where it is. Look for 'settings' in the on screen menu on your radio.

Honestly I can't say I've even looked at the gain number. I just set it by feel. If your brakes are running hot then I'd say you need to turn it down some.
