$1,279 out the door including sales tax at .085% and $100 rebate. $150 less than I paid in Vegas April 2013 for the same tires!

Great price, NOW SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUY THE NEXEN TAKE OFFS!!!!!

Actually I am not with my truck right now! I just happened to be talking to my son while my other son was driving it and asked them what it said...

Wow, that's pretty good! Everyone around me is bragging about how good these tires are so I want to be ready.

Where was the purchase?

I keep forgeting to ask about the weight of the Moble Suites you have. (present one & new one) You state: "29000 combined loaded". So the MS is aroung 20,000#?
Do they mak e "toy-hauler"?

The current MS weighs 20K the new 16 on order is a 39TKSB3 I am sure loaded it will hit 21K or more! The wife likes to add more than remove.

DRV does make a toy hauler go to drvfullhouse.com to see what they offer.

Took the new RAM out today with the MobileSuites in tow. The Aisin IS the way to go with 4:10's! Effortlessly got the load moving. EB really slowed the 29,700# load took it down a very steep road had it down in 2nd at 3K.. Looks like it will be getting better mileage towing compared to the 11. Pulled Conway Hill about a 5% grade with cruise set at 60 it dropped to 5th about half way up and maintained 60 the whole way. Never sounded like it was working at all. The truck sat level with the 5K load on it the real air ride was firm but controlled. I would say so far the rear rides better than the 11 but the front is a little more firm. Actually the rear is quite a bit better than the 11 without the air bags I had on it. Makes sense since the 15'sfront is heavier duty than the 11's front. Trans shifted great the whole time and it seems to always be at 165 degrees.

All in all the 15 is an awesome machine but so was the 11. The 15 is really better than the 11 in many ways. Can't wait to get it out on a long trip so I can really give it a good workout.

Thanks for the great update. I can't wait for mine. If yours is so much better than your '11, I'm sure mine is going to be light years ahead of my '01.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the cargo camera sucks! Even on the big screen the kingpin and 5er hitch are small and hard to see. Going to see if the camera can be adjusted. You can see the top of the toolbox really well. I want to see the hitch really wl!
