RAM 3500 MAX TOW - Towing 20,000lbs 2022 RAM 3500 SRW 6.7l SO

Показать описание

Having lived on the road with a Class A, we wanted to upgrade to a fifth wheel. I really did not want a dually, and this truck has been great so far. The truck is maxed out towing in both overall weight and pin weight.

The trucks payload rating is 4,350lbs and max towing is at 20,000lbs, so this is just about the biggest and heaviest camper this truck can tow.

I have got Sumo Springs on the rear, from when I had a truck camper but will possibly upgrade to airbags in time.

I have a 2021 Ram 3500 HO, SRW, LB, in white. Couldn’t be happier! Ordered it in Dec 2020, took till the end of April 2021 to arrive. (Loaded Laramie) 50 gal fuel, auto air bags and adaptive cruise control. My 5er is about 17k loaded toy hauler with 3 slides. Truck tows it with ease. I went from a 2003 Ram 2500 that I bought new in 03, so for me this was a massive upgrade and makes towing effortless. Great trucks!

I have a 2020 3500 HO, DRW, Laramie in black. We just did Cloudcroft from Texas; it was an easy day. RAM has a fantastic exhaust braking system, m and the truck didn't sweat it.

Ram makes a great truck for towing heavy. The Cummins and CP3 fuel pump helps resale when your truck gets over 150, 000 miles.

Good luck with your cummins! I think you'll enjoy it and will be happy with the standard output. As to Ford, they have been having a lot of quality control issues from what I've heard, so maybe you're not missing anything! Safe travels

Ram and Dodge are separate companies and have been for 10 years.

Actually run the brake in full with cruise. Keep you right there. Especially if the trailer is pushing you. If you're set at 70 it keeps it real light so you dont go over

We have a 22 3500 Laramie SRW HO and 50 gallon tank. We pull a Momentum 320G. I would agree the SO is just fine as far as power, the big benefit of the HO is the Aisin transmission. Set your exhaust brake to auto and you should not need to brake down hill but maybe once. Also, we have Sumo springs on the rear of the truck and both axles of the camper, helps the squat on the truck and the camper rides smoother. Happy travels.

I had a 21 ram like yours and the 5th wheel hitch was not that much of a hassle. But boy, we had a smooth ride with our 15k trailer. From your video, it looks a lot more rough
Also, use the Blue DEF platinum. It costs a little more but the cheap stuff and even the def from truck stops is not very good. It left urea crystals on my def injector which led me to getting a whole new DPF filter at over 4 grand. It was covered by warranty but we were down for 1 month waiting on parts. The truck had 60k miles when it went out. The platinum says it cleans out the crystals.
Good luck

I'm about to order a loaded up Laramie HO SRW almost identical configuration to your rig (going for the big fuel cell). This is exactly the kind of content I've been searching for while I shop this. We've aspirations of a toy hauler in the future, and didn't plan for something as massive as your Grand Design-- but nice to know it's an option! Sub'd.

I just bought a 2024 Ram 3500 Bighorn HO SRW CC LB with the intention of upgrading our BP toyhauler to a 5th wheel toyhauler. Woulda got the dually but like you, the wife drives it quite a bit and already its a handful for her. My payload is 4100# (got the big tank and the factory 5th wheel prep) and even looking at smaller dual-axle haulers, the pin weights get real heavy real fast. I always like to have a "buffer" of at least a cpl hundred pounds before I hit payload, just for peace of mind. A 36' Genesis hauler we're looking at has an advertised dry pin weight of 2700#, I'm guessing loaded and ready roll that weight is gonna be closer to 3400-3500#. With my portly self, the wife, the dog, etc, not only am I gonna use up my buffer but I'll probably exceed payload by a cpl hundy. I'm gonna add air bags, clinch up the butt cheeks and hope the crappy Firestone's are up to the task. LOL

Put the exhaust in auto and when coming down a grade and you find a speed you want touch the brakes and the transmission and exhaust brake will hold that speed...

Mine came with the smaller tank and I had the 50 gallon installed. I was even able to keep the same sending unit.

I know it’s extra cost, may look into the S&B tanks that replace the stock tank.

I have the same truck and i tow a 40’ 5th wheel but this year I installed a 55 gallon gravity feed tank and I can go easy 850-875 miles. I just made a 5000 mile trip and not once did I need to stop for fuel with the rv hooked up.

We have a 2019 376th. It’s a heavy beast! Love the 48 gallon tank on our f350 dually. Actually looking to get a 50 gallon transfer tank in the bed before our Florida to Alaska trip next year. The small tank in the Dodge is a downer!

S&B makes a tanks I believe the long bed one is like 60 gallons.

Have a Ram as well. Ended up getting a Fuelbox toolbox that has a 40 gallon tank on a gravity feed. So nice to have a 600 mile range while towing. Any extra fuel tank would be handy. Enjoy the truck!

Out of curiosity, have you put your rig on the cat scales to see how much weight is actually on your rear axle? I’m in the market for a Toy Hauler, and have a 2019 Ram 3500 HO Laramie Long Box SRW like yours with just shy of 4100 of payload. However I’m seeing pin weights of these trailers anywhere from 3000-3600 so just wondering if you had any issues with your drive axle?

I would bet that you're over on the payload depth. If you where to scale it.
