Torque tip from a nuclear mechanic. Always torque the nut instead of the bolt head if possible. It will give a more accurate torque. Torquing the bolt head may give you a few pounds less than called for. Good job.

The Ram looks much nicer under load versus the considerable squat of the Tremor

I've used quick connects/disconnects in my garden for years. You can't beat them with a stick.

Love the new truck and the pups set up in the back seat. How cool the seats folds like that. New adventures away! ❤

Congrats on your new setup! Glad you found your weight issues early. Too many people don’t realize that payload often is exceeded long before towing capacity. It is also somewhat confusing as every towing component from hitch and hitch balls to axles and frames all have their own limits and specs. Enjoy your forever truck!

All the unhooking and hooking up to a trailer is one of the big reasons I decided full-time in a motorhome. It’s a lot less hassle for me. And I’ve owned every kind of RV there is in my lifetime less a popup. And the Slide Outs topper situation is the reason I went with true Toppers on my motorhome last year. I love that set up. Thanks for the video.

Rule of thumb for staying in the middle of your lane is line up the right side wiper pivot with the shoulder painted line

I've got the first year 6.7 Cummins diesel megacab. It has a little over 600,000 miles on it and still going strong. Finally lost the transmission at 504,000 miles. (I always used Amsoil in the Tranny) I tow all the time with it. It still has the original A/C compressor and starter, motor hasn't been touched. The motor doesn't leak or use any oil yet. I also have a 2014 Cummins megacab with 240,000 miles on it,. It also has been trouble free. So you stated this is our truck of our lifetime. It sure can last your lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Way to go! Best advice is never stomp on it until it has reached full operating temp. and allow it to idle 3 minutes after towing to cool every thing down.

Pretty cool. I have both a SRW Ram 3500 and DRW Ram 3500. My SRW has the mega cab, and the DRW is Crew Cab Long Bed. When truck shopping I was told it wasn't possible to tow a 5th wheel with a mega cab's short bed length, so I got the long bed instead in the dually. I wish I did what you guys did with that hitch. That's the best of both worlds!

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 with the Cummins and the Megacab. I love it! I have a moonroof, and live in the desert and it lives outside. No leaks or anything. Good luck and keep going!

We love our 2024 RAM 3500 Big Horn long bed. Have about 4800 miles so far. Mileage coming back down to Tennessee from Elkhart was not great at 8.3 mpg due to wind. We had MORryde install IS on our Alliance and had another place install a GEN Y hitch.

Pulling my ORV GP F28RKS with a 2011 RAM 3500 Diesel Dually. It's been a really good combo. I can attest to the pain of hitting the cab. Bought my truck with a 2" hitch ball welded in the center (used to tow a gooseneck horse trailer). I use a gooseneck hitch, but it does allow me to turn far too close and crunch the cab. I'm usually pretty careful, but I was wrestling with getting into a camp site and OUCH! Makes me wince every time I approach the truck.

Your new truck is a great truck. I know peeps with all brands of truck. Learn about tire pressure. Tire traction and air pressure, especially on your Dooley will control a lot of what the truck does depending on the surface and conditions. Ninety percent of the time you will be ok. But if you get to a stuck point or an area where you really feel your traction will be a problem learn to do the work and lower tire pressure for better traction. Study how to use your drive train. Know what differential lock is and how to use it. Are you considering airbags? You have a busy 10 days. New truck, hitch issues. That’s part of the excitement. Beautiful resort. I prefer the long bed trucks. I don’t lose as much bed storage and worry less about the slide not working and even if it does work truck cabs have been hit. Keep slide clean and nothing in bed. Your setup looks very sharp. Check the level of trailer on a level surface. Check the clearance of truck bed to trailer. This is so when your truck pulls down into a drop like getting into or out of a fuel station the bed can get close to the trailer. I think I’m an inch high but I like my clearance from bed to trailer. I might be at 6”

Kudos to you for installing the hitch yourself. At 69, I don't think I could do it myself!

Thing to note….get the long bed truck but move up to the 450 or 4500 as they have a significantly tighter turning radius than the 350 or 3500 trucks.

Towing with a dually truck is always a better tow no matter who the manufacturer is. Now you don't have to worry about weight issues and breaking is also more confident because your trailer is very well within your trucks tolerances. Congrats on the new truck and enjoy, happy camping guys.

Love the engine brake on our 2020 Ram. Still puts a kids smile on my face.

We were there the same time as you guys. I'm in your video at about the 1 minute mark walking our golden retriever.

Glad it finally worked out for you! Those precious dogs look great!! :) Have fun!!
