I started this thread in an effort to gain an understanding of the Ram trucks and how to build and order one that will fit my needs. I explained my requirements and my viewpoints on safety margins. I wanted to confirm my choices of components and packages in a build. I feel I have been polite...

I have question about the B20 Biodiesel and non B20 engines. What is the difference between them and why would one be better than the other?

I considered the 4500 but the gross weight is to close to the GVW and like I stated above; I like a margin of safety. Another factor is that the truck will very rarely be driven without a load. It will either have the camper on it or be hooked to my gooseneck hauling farm equipment, or feed. It...

Here are my trucks axle ratings Front 5,990 lbs, Rear 9,900 lbs. My GVWR: 14,000 lbs, total weight based on axle capacity 15,890 lbs, and that is with a perfectly balanced load. My truck weight is 8,710 lbs, leaving me 7,180 lbs. Figuring load: truck fuel/DEF 495 lbs, 2 passengers 325 lbs, dry...

Cummins12V98, I think you misunderstood my point. I am not saying you are over weight or if you are that it is bad. All I said was that with the rig I plan to run I need a larger truck, this topic has nothing to do with your truck or load, this is about mine and my needs. So sorry if I stepped...

And that is why I'm considering a 5500 C&C. You add the "ready to go" weight and another 800 lbs tongue weight and my current F350 DRW just isn't going to do.

I understand where and why you feel that is okay, But that may be within the axle weight but not within the trucks legal weight class. And weight class is what the insurance companies look at in the event of an accident. I would much rather be on the safe side to avoid financial liability.

Do you know if the roper was running 4.88s or 4.44? I was to do the best I can to keep the MPG up. I'm guessing that 90% of the time I'll be running with a 6000 lbs Camper/cargo load and 8000 lbs trailer. that is why I was looking at the 4.44s. The only time I'll be pulling anything over 10,000...

Based on a suggestion from a Turbo Diesel Member, I'm moving this question to this forum. I'm still undecided on what I want for a truck to haul a Host Mammoth slide in camper plus pull a enclosed trailer. I have to confess that I currently own a 2017 F350 DRW that I spec'ed and built for towing...
