I love my 3500 SRW RAM 6.4l. 4:10 truck. To me the Chevy 6.0 is under powered and very thirsty even when not towing & I'm not a Ford guy. Too many bad experiences with them... I agree that the...

I just switched out the Rainier225/75R15 tires for these Goodyears. They definitely roll much smoother than the OEM. Out of the 5 tires I purchased (spare also), one had a defective side wall... ...

I had the same decision. I bought a 3500 SRW RAM WITH RHE 6.4l & 4:10. Love it! Pulls our 28 BHBE easily, intact it's hard to stay at the speed limits... best bang for you buck for sure.

The 6.4 in the RAM is not the same as the car, and is a purpose built engine. It's capable of a lot more as well. Cubic inches is hard to overcome. I looked at all the trucks and ended up with a...

The air bags help, and so do lt tires, but the payload capacity doesn't change. I upgraded my 1500 to a HD RAM. Picked up a new, loaded Larie 3500 RAM for less money than I paid for my 1/2 ton.

We don't have the thermal package, and it works great. We have camped when the temps drop into the 30's at night without problems. The furnace works as it should.

J had air bags, and D rated tires. As mention it wasn't awful, but over loaded for sure. Don't get stopped or in an accident. You are over payload.

I'd go 1 Tom/ 3500 also. If you are going heavy towingand long distance buy a diesel. If not, gas engines are great also. I picked up a new Ram 3500 SRW 6.4 hemi in November. Love RAM trucks.
