Talking to a dealership salesman.
But this video was way more informative than I ever thought. You really have me insight on things that I didn't even think about.
Yup, biggest mistake I made was listening to sales people especially those who have never even towed a trailer… thanks 👍🏾
Good job on this video. You managed to get the same info across that another truck & RV channel often covers but did it in a way that feels a lot more relatable. I think you will get through to a lot more people with this approach.
Thanks Jeremy 👍🏾
JB,
I made this exact mistake I went from a Toyota to a 3/4 ram cummins Laramie
Thought I could carry a house
You can't even haul a yard of gravel
Sold it and waiting for 2022
Inventory getting a 1ton tired of screwing around
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾! Did the same thing bro 👍🏾
I made the same mistake. I even told the salesman I wanted to get the diesel to tow a 5th wheel camper for work. When I started looking for a camper I realized real quick I was screwed. So input in a order for a drw
Omg. Thank you so much for this video. I’m fixing to buy a new ram to pull a big fifth wheel and now i know what i need. Keep up the good info videos.
Thanks for the comment 👍🏾
Outstanding! Getting better all the time. Great content and very informative!
Thanks, this video was suppose to be something different and I switch it at the last minute lol! I basically went back and added the 3 points in between the video
“Round down for her and add it to yourself”. This was hilarious bro! Keep up the awesome videos man. I’m in the process of getting a new truck. Got our 20 PW last year, wasn’t thinking we would get a TT. Got a TT in late March. Love the truck but need the payload. I’ve been researching 3500s and which options I want to get. This family of 5 with the pup will need that payload! :-)
Thanks for the insightful videos. Glad to se the channel still growing!
😆😆😆 I figure I didn’t want any of my followers to get slapped for asking wifey to jump on the scale! My first truck was a 2500 and I had a 40ft fifth wheel so I know where you’re coming from, thanks 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork man, it’s funny because when I started talking to my wife about all this a few months ago, she jumped to tell me her weight! We’ve enjoyed traveling and want to do more than just Michigan to Florida. We’re planning on traveling west next summer! Gotta get the right truck and maybe even an upgrade on the rig (to 5th wheel). Who knows! :-)
😂😂😂
That’s awesome bro, I still want to take our rig out west too, safe travels 👍🏾
Dude you make fantastic videos. Informative, you speak clearly, good quality. You seem like a class act 👍
Thank you🙏🏾 I’m still nervous on camera but apart from that getting better 👍🏾
Very informative! Loads of information! Thanks!
Dude you are so much on point with this video. I ordered a f350 crew cab Lariat SRW truck in Jan thinking I was good in the future to get a 5th trailer. Of course the dealer is going to lie and say "oh yeah you can tow any 5th wheel with that truck" So I did the research. yes it may have the towing compacity of 20,000lbs however I did not take into consideration of payload compacity just as you spoke about in your video. Realizing I made a mistake I went back and got the same truck in a dully for that very reason. I think future Kevin will be happier now. I think I will make a video about this when I get my truck in.
That’s awesome, be sure to send me a link 👍🏾
I will share it on Facebook when people ask if a 3/4 ton truck is enough for their 40 feet long fifth wheel. Thanks for making this video.
Appreciate it 🙏🏾
Absolutely right JB. If you own the limited with a Cummings , like I do, you’re buying for the luxury and not to tow a 5th wheel! Great video my man!
Yes sir, a lot of guys like the idea of a luxury truck vs a luxury car because occasionally you can haul a couch or lawn mower without scrambling to rent something 👍🏾
I wouldn’t buy a 2500 again unless I went to a smaller trailer. I love the payload of the 1 ton SRW and the dually. Thanks for the information JB.
Yup, I would go back if they raise the GVWR enough to tow a similar like mine, thanks Ric 👍🏾
I’d get a 4500 or equivalent. This way you get a wide track front axel and a much tighter turning radius vs a 3500 dually.
The big thing about towing is you don’t want to go “over weight” ie you have a truck rated to pull 12k but your trailer is 16k. If you get in an accident Your insurance will drop your coverage and you’re on your own.
Great video and info! You really did a great job covering the info
People sleep on the 4500/5500 especially for full timing and I agree, loop holes is insurance companies playground! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Thinking about buying a truck this info is great!
That’s great Julie, thanks 👍🏾
Fortunately I was never considering anything bigger than a ~28-foot tt (that's already overkill for my small family) and my 1/2 ton can handle that. But for sure I can see how confusing this can be. Nice video, very helpful.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Traded my 17 Ram 2500 Laramie crew cab for a 19 Laramie mega cab 3500, had a 2018 Jayco bumper pull 287bhs, upgraded to a 2020 28BH Grand design Reflection, my 17 had a payload of 2100 pounds, my 3500 has a payload over 4K, tows like a champ, and no worries about exceeding my payload capacity
Good to know, awesome video, keep up the great work. Stay cool it's hotter by you than where I live in Round Rock TX!
Also at that price of the 2500, wouldn't a 3500 be a little cheap just because of the popularity of a 3/4 ton?
Wow that’s crazy although TX hot hits a lot different...
The price point isn’t much different for someone to settle, thanks!
Very good information about the payLoad on these Ram Trucks
Thanks!
I bought my 3/4 ton before I ever planned to get a 5th wheel. But staying with my parents in their momentum my wife feel in love and we started looking for one. I found out quit that my truck was only rated to pull 13k… I recently traded it in and got a 3500. Now we can get that big 5th wheel
This man speaks truth!
Had a 2020 1500 Limited and went to a 2021 2500 Limited. We pull a 35’ 6500lb (loaded for trips) ultra lite Coachmen Apex. Scales has us around 860 hitch weight loaded up and we never tow wet. The 1500 was capable thanks to WDH, Air suspension, and proper loading and we traveled over 17,000 miles in the last 7 months with zero issues. However, we had a hard time fitting into gas places and stopping for gas every 2 hours got old fast. The Hemi screamed on hills and steep grades (think Tetons, Ozarks, Appalachia areas). The problem signs were that OEM tires lasted only 12,000 miles before the wear bars went out and I always felt towing shouldn’t have to take so much mental driving and work if that makes sense. What sealed the deal for us was when we faced our first real windy day returning from Wyoming with gusts of 25-30MPH and we had our first “oh $#%\” moment while getting passed by people pulling similar loads with slightly larger vehicles at speed. Traded the 1500 the following week.
Just did a 8+ hour trip (round trip) with the 2021 2500 Limited Cummins (no mega) and it was effortless. No worry about fitting into gas stalls as diesel truck stops are plentiful and getting 16MPG towing compared to 7MPG, and add to the effortless and quietness made it very well worth the change for us. I didn’t even have to stop to fill up and arrived in both locations with more than 1/3 of a tank left (leaving full both times). We faced 20MPH gusts based on AccuWeather’s info and it didn’t phase us one bit. No tail wagging this dog.
My payload is just shy of 2000lbs with my options and I added sumo springs to keep it level. That number may not be a lot of payload compared to the leaf springed competitors, but is plenty for us and our growing family of 5 based on how we load with nothing in the truck or bed, but everything in/on the camper.
I do have to ask, many say that the ratings are based on legal and registration/commercial reasons and that the axles can handle and support more than the stickers say. I’m not testing this, but what do you think about that?
Thanks for the great insights and all you do for the truck/towing community JB!
Great info, I’m assuming you had te 22” wheels... Yea I have been towing with 1.2 tons and I’m not too impressed with their performance. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork Yeah, it was the 22” wheels. After owning both, I just don’t see any other way. You can never have too much truck for towing. I wish I found your content sooner as I would have bought the right rig the first time around.
The way you sit back in your vids and chill while towing is literally me now. “It’s nothing…like it’s not even there”. Keep up the great work sir!
Great info, everyone that tows or plans to tow should watch this, so many people think their 1/2 ton truck can tow 12000 lbs🙄
Yea I’ve towed 9k with a 1/2 ton and I’m glad to report I really like my 1 ton, ride and all lol!
I ALMOST made this mistake! Good thing I saw your other videos which mention payload being a weak point of the 2500 when it comes to towing bigger trailers.
Decided on a 2022 3500 Laramie HO SRW.
Followed the advice of a coworker, it's better to have more truck and not need it, as opposed to needing more truck than you have.
Impatiently waiting for my truck to arrive!
Did you get your truck yet?
@@keithreinert5835 Super late reply (Why doesn't youtube notify of replies I must've changed something, yes I got it in February, so roughly around the time you commented. 15,000 miles as of today 9/20/22. It's been a damn good truck thus far. Waited 5 months for it. $75,870 out the door.
I share your passion for trucks, great video and good information. Thanks.
🙏🏽
Wow very interesting, I just recently bought a 2021 Ram 3500 Limited Mega Cab 4x4 and it didn’t even cross my mind to look into this. I just assumed with the HO and Aisin transmission I was covered for anything I wanted to tow. But instead I just look like the boss man with a nice truck. Research is definitely necessary, although it’s too late now thanks for the info! I may as well just leave my cap over my gooseneck insert for what I can haul……
You’re ok because you bought a 1 ton and you probably have over 3500#’s of payload so you can probably tow up to 15k, assuming you’re not carrying a bunch of gear in the truck 👍🏾
Thanks JB, your content and responses are greatly appreciated! I love my truck by the way, it rides like a big Cadillac lol!
I used my VIN and came up with a totally different number than the Towing Guide’s basic info gives you. I have a limited mega cab with Cummings. The ViN specific info gave me 16K towing and 1763 payload…hmmm. I’m not worried right now because it tows my 30’ TT (GVW 7600 lbs) with no issues. I traded a GMC Yukon XL - night and day difference. Thanks for the great videos and thought provoking content.
That’s interesting Gerry, I may have to cross check the info with online chart. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork Love to know how you make out...Your channel was instrumental in trading my '20 GMC Yukon Denali XL. Great people mover but not a good tow vehicle.
@@JB_WhoWork on another topic- have you figured out a way to turn the volume down on the Uconnect phone lady. When I use my voice commands she blows me out of the cab...It's been a struggle trying to figure this out. You are an SME on the RAM so please help!
I want to tow with a suburban or XL assuming proper tires but haven’t found one quite yet, thanks for sharing 👍🏾
If you turn the volume down when she’s talking it saves the setting because I’ve been blasted too
👍👍👍you’re right on with everything that you said
That’s 3 mistakes I didn’t want to miss!!
Most of your information is good. The weight of the current Cummins is around 1100#. You are spot on about the GVW limits for taxes and fees. The problem with the Cummins is the electronic 4BT puts out more than enough power. And with 3.73 or 4.10 gears. 35" tires are practical.
We have a 2500 Crewcab Tradesman 4wd with 3.42 gears. It does tow our 7x16 cargo trailer real nice. But only gets 13mpg at California towing speeds. But our Dodge Durango gets 15.5mpg towing that trailer. The plus is the VGT turbo technology. That the 2500 makes towing smoother in the mountains.
Oh wow, I compared two similar trucks, one Hemi, other Cummins and it was about 850#’s 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork When I was shopping for a new vehicle. I compared my wife's 2018 Ram 2500 Crewcab Tradesman 4wd short bed 6.7L with a 68RFE transmission, with a short bed. The payload is 2250#. To a 2020 Ram 2500 Crewcab Tradesman 4wd longbed 6.4L with the ZF 8- speed, the payload was 3370#.
I though the fuel tank size was the same. And I hope the factory was not printing the wrong numbers on the sticker. Shopping from the internet. I decided to go with a 3500 longbed with the Cummins. But when I got to the dealer that was only 5 miles from my house. Another customer was signing the papers on that truck. And due to the shortages. The next lowest priced 3500 Cummins powered truck, was like $15,000 more.
3500 Big Horn, Cummins diesel, Asian tranny, 3.73 rear end, dual Alternators, crew cab, LB, Level B package, Cloth Bench seats for 6 passengers, SRW. I think that is all that I'll need. Had thoughts of a Tradesman with the same power house but the wife bumped me up.
Amen!! I had a small truck and a small trailer last year... and learned about all this stuff prior to shopping for the upgrades... I went shopping for a truck that would meet my needs, 6 people (bench seat) and enough payload/towing...
So now, I got 6 people, about 1050 tongue weight (loaded) from my trailer, my WD Hitch (all in all probably weighs 130 lbs), 300ish lbs of cargo in the bed and the dog... and my 3/4 ton Silverado (with Duramax) has 3300 lbs of payload. This is exactly the kind of truck I knew I wanted, not high trim either... try to over estimate the numbers... assume that the factory hitch weights are under what they will actually be from the RV dealer info... because they will be. Even with over estimating, I still have just under 600 lbs of payload by my estimates and I'm far under the towing capacity (which is probably the secondary number to payload).
I'm in a good comfortable zone. JB, your channel as well as a few others have given me and I'm sure countless others some good information to think about! Hope life is treating you well!
Wow even with a TT once you add hitch weight + hitch/WD, you’re already in HD territory... Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork Yeah it pretty much is. I may be estimating my hitch weight a little high, my intention is to actually buy a scale, but I'm using a video from Big Truck Big RV as a reference, where he went around to several different TTs/RVs with a scale and compared dry weights as displayed on stickers vs what they actually weighed. There was quite a difference in many cases. So estimating high is a good way to go in my books.
Here's part 1 of the video I mention from BTBRV
czcams.com/video/7nMMUOHum6I/video.html
I saw that video too!
Great video.
Thanks Kevin 👍🏾
I bought my 1500 Limited not too tow but for comfort and safety and I'm a kind of person that stays in hotels instead of campgrounds. Great review JB 👏
That beautiful Limited says it all lol! Thanks 👍🏾
Excellent video! Everyone looking for that camper/truck combo needs to see this. Four years ago I bought a 2500 High Country gaser with the fifth wheel package and been towing a travel trailer with ease. It wasn’t until last summer that I started looking at fifth wheels and realized I only had 2500# payload, I finally looked at the door! Needless to say I still got the fifth wheel we wanted at 10,500GVWR but I wouldn’t go any heavier with this truck.
Thanks!
Plethora of knowledge as usual ❤️
🙏🏾
Every video is like being in school - and a class you don’t want to miss 🍻
Thanks Ed 🙏🏾
Damn that mega cab looks beautiful but I only tow once every year…if that. Looks like I’m keeping the 1500 for now
You do a really good job!!!!
Thank you 👍🏾
great video
Thanks mike!
Hey JB - can you do some videos on smaller travel trailers and toy haulers that would be good for the Ram 2500 diesel to tow?
Ok!
I need it for my Sunday ride 😆
Yeah made the mistake on my first truck. Almost made it on my current one. I got the 2500 Mega Cab Diesel (Laramie, high trim). I can't do a 5th wheel with it but my 36' travel trailer works great and I'm still a little under my payload (even as kids get older). After the kids are older I'll be changing trucks/campers so I don't exceed my payload.
Seems to be the norm for everyone 👍🏾
How much payload do you have? Im thinking about a diesel laramie mega cab 4x4 incl air bags and moonroof.
Horse trailer fully loaded is 9900lbs. I m seriously concerned I m running out of payload when i order one...
@@silkemueller1391 my payload is 1808 lbs. But for what I tow and the rest of my weight in the vehicle, I'm still under. If my kids were teenagers then I'd have to swap trucks. Anyway, run the numbers. What's your tongue weight?
@@star-warsien how much tongue weight does your travel trailer have? Have to be over payload. I have a 21 Ram 6.4 2500 and my trailer is 38 feet with 1500 pounds of tongue weight
@@Thirty-OughtSick I have 1100 lbs tongue weight.
Damn, informative video!
Thanks bro 👍🏾
Exactly correct, you are one responsible for your purchase....you should actually know more about what your buying than salesman.....
While I don't own trailers, 5rh wheels I would still argue to figure out the trailer you want to buy first than buy truck second to tow it.....common sense really.....most of the features in super trims aren't necessary and probably never even use them.....possibly
Man where were you 2 truck ago, lol, yeah I learned my lesson now if I get a chance I'm going 1 ton dually but man the price have gone up since this plandemic. Also I wish that you would have look inside the bed of that silver 2500 diesel to see if it had a gooseneck prep for what I've seen at some dealer that the 2500 diesel had it in there truck, they don't have a clue. Now unless (I guess) that they are going to tow a horse trailer with it but a 5th wheel, most people will tow a 5th wheel. I see it all the time going to these camp ground with people towing big Montana 5th wheel with their 2500 diesel, good and informative video sir.
Lol! Yea most dealers have limited people who know about truck/trailer towing. I agree, a horse trailer within 25 ft should be fine with a 3/4 ton diesel w/ 10k GVWR 👍🏾
Keep up the good work, hey are there any 1 ton dually flame red in your area?
I’m not sure but if I was a betting man, I would say no. Thanks 👍🏾
You just made a video about my life for the last 4 years. Ima start a, "2500 I bought the wrong truck" support group! 😭
🤣🤣🤣 I did too so I’m just speaking from experience lol! You’re still good with your 2500 though 👍🏾
What about 2500 tradesman level 2, diesel? For hotshot?
Great video!
Thank You!
@@JB_WhoWork Your welcome JB. What do you think about Diesel additives for the 6.7 Ho Cummins. mine is a 2020 reg cab dually
I use them a couple times a month, they are cheap and the quality of diesel in America is lower than overseas 👍🏾
The other factor that I didn't hear you mention if axle ratio. Axle ratio makes a huge difference in towing capacity. That truck only had a 3.73. The same truck with a 4.10 will tow more than 16,000 lbs.
Went to the dealership last week and there was nothing but used vehicles and "model vehicles" with a waiting line and you had to order MONTHS out and wait for the vehicle to hopefully come in. The dismantling of our society in the US is real. And we're just letting it all happen in front of our eyes, while we continue to give away our personal liberties and freedom because the politicians told us what is best for us.
The price differences between a 2500 and 3500 are so minimal. I tow 12 000lbs several times a year and went with the 1 ton. Probably not necessary. . You're already at 80k canadian for a base laramie, what's another 3k to go to a 1 ton? You won't have payload worries. Doesn't squat down as much. Plus the HO is a beast
What is the difference between a 3/4t vs 1t for daily driving? I always heard that coil spring are a better ride compared to leaf spring.
You really can't tell the different, I had both and when I finally got my 1 ton my wife was with me at the time and I ask her and she said that she couldn't tell the different, but I'm sure that going over big bump you will but other than that you can't tell.
Maybe you can’t tell in a loaded limited it you sure can tell in a gas engine big horn.Night and day difference, IMO 3500s are for contractors and work trucks ,the coil sprung 2500s are for dual purpose trucks daily drivers and weekend tow vehicles. In the real world most people don’t care about the payload number much when it comes to 2500vs 3500 srw. The 2500s have an artificially low GVWR and payload for DOT purposes,the brakes are identical,the frames are the same ,the real difference is in the rear suspension in the case of the Ram and tires. For personal use weight ratings are not as important. The rule has always been to stay within your tires ratings and axle ratings ,DOT allows 5 percent over on all numbers , axles and total gvw. Another great video.
I just bought a 2021 Ram 2500 for towing our 7200 lb (loaded) trailer…without towing it’s a big difference between that and the 3500 in ride quality (my father in law has a 3500 Laramie). I came from a Ram 1500 Laramie, which is mostly as smooth as a car - the 2500’s ride is exactly between the 1500 and the rough ride of the 3500. In fact I’d say the biggest difference is in steering feel, where the 1500 is very direct. I think the Ram 2500 is perfect for longer, heavier travel trailers where the gas engine is still perfectly fine (under 10,000 lbs would be my guess)
I have a 2021 2500 bighorn crew/cummins with the 5th wheel prep. I plug my VIN into the ram tow capacity guide and it comes back with 2202lb payload, and 20181.75lb max towing. The payload rating matches the sticker on my truck. If I just use the model year and specs, it comes back with same payload but an 18000lb max towing. JB, care to weigh in on which one you think is correct? The model year/spec doesn't include the 5th wheel prep option which I have. Thanks.
The 20k is accurate but your payload will limit you so it’s kind of subjective 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork Yeah, I only have to tow my boat so it doesn't matter, I was just curious. Thanks. Great video again. The interior on that limited is gorgeous.
You get the JGC-L yet lol. And I see your dealership you work with got some trucks available.
Lol nope I want to see the Grand Wagoneer first as I think that would be more in line with us especially with that big towing capacity! Yea they are getting more inventory than most 👍🏾
JB hope all is well. Great videos. I'm having some trouble finding any video on someone doing a 2500 ram with the 6.4 pulling a fifth wheel. Can you do one ? I bought a 2020 ram 2500 with the 6.4 crew cab 4x4 and if I did my math right, I came up with a fifth wheel weight of 10,000 lbs. Any info would be great. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Hey Marcus, if I get an opportunity, I will get some footage of one, thanks 👍🏾
JB in your opinion do you think my 6.4 hemi 2500 would pull your fifth wheel or do you think that it might be to much weight ? I see guys on CZcams pulling flat bed trailers around 12000 lbs but nobody is pulling a fifth wheel. Hope you can find some time to do a video. I'm really excited to see this as once again nobody has dont it. P. S Which you was around north Florida.
Do you have a 4.10 rear? If so then in FL it would do fine but if I have the chance to pull my fiver with a 6.4L on some grades, that would be the real test! Hopefully I have a chance to do so 👍🏾
Hey JB I check and my truck has 3:73 gears
I think most people don’t even think about payload. They just know they have a heavy duty diesel and then just send it. And for the most part that’s ok because even with the lower payload ratings they’re typically not exceeding the axle ratings. However the problem would be if they ever get into an accident. A good lawyer might take notice that they were far exceeding their truck’s legal ratings.
It’s kind of a fine line I suppose for personal use. What’s truly silly is my 1500 has a higher payload than my 2500 had, and that happens a lot for 2500 diesels.
Great points and I’ve seen examples of 1/2 tons having more payload although it’s not apples to apples… I should do a video on that, thanks bro 👍🏾
A lot of people don’t know that the prices on HD trucks are not so different than a half ton. They are under the impression that they are out of their range.
Yup!
Is there a big differance in fuel milage between the HO and the SO?
HO has 50 HP and 225 TQ over the SO
Is the 3500 under powered with the base cummins then? The 1 ton will be heavier than the 3/4 ton but with the same engine...I'll have to see if you've got videos comparing the base cummins and the HO cummins in the 3500 trim.
The 3500 is not heavier than the 2500 with base engine
The SRW 1 ton is probably 100-200 pounds more but if you add the high output Cummins/Aisin it’s about 500-600
@@JB_WhoWork if you compare same truck 2500 vs 3500 h.o it's not 500-600 pound.....my brother have a 2016 2500 cummins crew cab with a gvwr of 9900 pound and a payload of 1980 pound , so is truck weight 7920 pound. My 3500 big Horn h.o aisin with about same option have a gvwr of 11800 pound and a payload of 3725 . So it weight 8075 pound so only 155 pound difference. Dont forget aisin is heavier but h.o engine is lighter 👍
If u plan on towing heavy 15000 plus pounds on a regular basis get a 1 ton dually tradesman or tradesman level 2! I have a 21 longhorn and with my auxiliary fuel tank witch is smaller than I wanted due to my payload and passengers plus the b&w hitch witch is heavier in the ram than ford or Chevy and the pin weight of my 5th wheel I am right on my max payload! My same truck in a tradesman has almost a thousand more Payload. Look at everything u will have in your truck and in the bed when towing and the weight of your trailer than buy your truck. All the creature comforts are nice but your payload suffers from it.
💯
Ram needs to up the gvwr on the trucks like ford and gm. They have 10k gvwr options but normally come higher.
💯
Agreed!!!
This is why I’ve looked at the new F250s. You can get the Powerstroke in a Lariat or higher and still have nearly 2800lbs of payload. If Ram offered owners an option to up their 2500 GVWR to 10,800 they’d be much better off. Maybe they are worried it would hurt 3500 sales? I wouldn’t step into a 3500 MC at 12,300 because then likely go over the 26k CDL limit pulling a 14k gooseneck with 2 Jeeps.
Lol my favorite question is what gear ratio did you get? And just a blank stare from Chuck 3Chins .... 😂😂 so basically he bought the douch bag edition.
My in-laws tow a 5 wheel with a 2019 GMC 1500 Denali 🤦🏼♂️ I’ve tried to let them know just because you can doesn’t mean you should but they are both retired military officers lol
Lol!
They buy 3 Ram trucks?
Oh pardon me, I'll watch the video before I jump to conclusions!🤣
😂😂😂
A 2500 Tradesman w/ the 6.4 Hemi has a higher tow rating than a basic 2500 w/ a diesel?
Lol, if you compare a crew cab Hemi to a diesel MegaCab yes
@@JB_WhoWork Why you gotta complicate things? LOL. Nice video!
I made these mistakes. No doubt. Some of us learn the hard way.
💯 me too!
It is sure be nice just to hung out at the dealers and test drive all the vehicles for the hell of it.
😂😂😂
Buy a GM. My Denali diesel has a payload over 3000lbs. And they come with full detail stickers specific to your truck

If you even think you may tow remotely a 5th wheel get a 3500....
2500 is for guys towing with a 1500 who want to make it an easy chore.....3500 is the truck for towing....cost, ride and handling is minimal between them....
3/4 ton trucks are for guys who need payload...like me, construction business.....3500s are for hauling big trailers
What’s your 3500 tow capacity?
It’s around 22,000#’s
@@JB_WhoWork great thank you. We will be getting a replacement for our 2015 2500 Hemi and we tow a goose neck 3 horse slant load. We may upgrade to a living quarters and your truck would be able to tow both pretty easy.
Hi JB.
Excellent explanation on the 3 big mistakes!
Congratulations on your new truck!
Tried to email you with no success.
Dealer has me on order list for power wagon in 2022.
Possibly first quarter next year.
If you still have my email address contact for detailed information.
Hey man, sorry my email is at about 900… I need to get on that soon! Good stuff I will go in sometime this week and email you!
@@JB_WhoWork Thanks !
Looking forward to hear from you.
There's people out there thinking they can pull a 40ft tt with a 1500😂
True lol!
Good lord if you go all the numbers like he is 90% of the trucks towing are overloaded.
number 1 mistake is putting a leviling kit on trucks
Your spec sheet says 1500, not 2500.
I threw that in there for comparison 👍🏾
Payload, payload, payload…that’s why I just bought a 3500 limited turbo diesel HO…now I’m so poor, I can’t pay attention!
😂😂😂
Or, per your GM / RAM 3/4 ton comparo, you’ll probably buy a 2500HD Duramax. At least until RAM fixes the 2500 Jumbo (torque) / Shrimp (payload) problem with their 3/4 ton diesel trucks.
💯
Just hook the trailer and go,it will handle it fine
Lol my F-150 HDPP has nearly 1000lbs more payload than that thing.
Great video.
Thank you 👍🏾
