Attention: TDR Forum Junkies To the point: Click this link and check out the Front Page News story(ies) where we are tracking the introduction of the 2025 Ram HD trucks.
Since locking up depends on gear and speed, I'd like to know what the lowest speed would lock up towing 16000#. I'd use that speed to compare to listed speed limits to judge what routes I could take.
So I need to try maintain steady RPM at higher gear i.e. go faster. The switchbacks were tight, but I should have been able to do 25-30 mph.
Should I put it in 2nd or 3rd rather than drive?
Should I have the exhaust brake on towing uphill?
Does anyone know where the sensor is on 4th Gen 3500...
Any advice on transmission temperature towing trailer up mountains? How do I figure out my truck/trailer limits / gradeability to avoid routes that would exceed my truck's limits.
