Wanted: Fleet Dealer in D.C. Area

[SCF Truck]

All

I'm looking for a reputable Ram fleet dealer in the DC, northern Virginia, Baltimore area. I plan to replace our 2018 2500 Tradesman. Want to talk to a sales person that knows Rams, not some run of the mill retail sales person who has zero experience.

Thx!

Good luck.
I think you’d be better off researching on your own, and asking about what you’re looking for here, then searching for that package.
May I ask what is it youre looking for?

A Ram that will pull up to 14k lbs gooseneck trailer.

Hey SCF, I just connected the dots. Good luck.

A Ram that will pull up to 14k lbs gooseneck trailer.

Any 3500 SRW or DRW will do that. Get one with Air Suspension option and Tow prep kit and you are dialled.

Your 2500 will do what you want.

Actually, no it won’t. He’s got a Sickly truck. See the transfer case thread.

Murph, go find that thread “transfer case X2” and check it out. Sad story.

Aren't the same transfer cases used on the 2500s and 3500s? The transfer case is only a component, cant understand why it wont work. Even if it's a linkage issue, there's a procedure to properly adjust it.

I'm not sure I would stay with a brand if I had the trouble you say you're having.

Good luck, Ron

I'm with you I would give brand F or G a try and be vocal about it at the dealer why I wouldn't be back for a Ram.

I know about the other thread and posted on it. There's a good dealership Waldorf Md, that had great service. It's down rt 5 from DC.

A 14k standard trailer should be fine for a 2500. But a gooseneck might overload the bed? My 2500 can pull 16,350 if it's a standard bumper pull (it won't overload the bed).

My truck has payload of almost 2400 lbs. (It weighs just a tad over 7600 lbs).

Might be the bed was overloaded? Would that change the angle of the drive shafts?

3500/rear air ride and AISIN in a SRW configuration=GOLDEN.

Try Fred Frederick in Easton. Ask for Fletch - he knows his stuff.

My truck is there now. They are replacing the used txfr case that Jones Junction installed.

Good to hear, hopefully your trust into RAM will grow back that way now that the problem and the reason for it is solved.
