RE: Weight Distribution Shank....2.5" receiver end X 18" Long
I've used a 2 inch extended hitch shank with an adaptor to fit a 2.5 hitch on two Ram trucks. We've got maybe 30,000 miles on this set up with no issues.
Our Outdoor RV trailer has a high hitch coupling and also the tailgate wouldn't drop down without hitting the jack---now, it's all good.

RE: Ram 2500 6.4 gas Towing 5th wheel.
Sorry, late to the subject.
We just traded a 2016 Ram 6.4 for a new Ram 6.4. The 16 Ram towed a fifth wheel to Alaska, around Western U.S. and to Florida and back to North Idaho, and it did just fine. We averaged 8.5 MPG hand calculated towing.
The new truck just finished a trip of 2900 miles through the Western U.S. and the Oregon coast---averaged 9.6 MPG hand calculated.
Our trailers weighed between 10,000 and 10,300 (Momma's shoes weighed a lot!!).
We were happy with the 16, but the 2023 Ram does a better job in our opinion.
See ya out there

RE: New Forest River Wolf pup 2023 Catastrophic Failure :(
Not to be a bummer, but----get an attorney ASAP.
The dealer couldn't care less about your unit, just that they got the sale.
The manufactureing company will string you along as long as they can, until the "warranty" is up.
The cost of legal fees will be far less than your hand wringing and bad experiances.
Also, the insurance company might be of some help, but probably not to much.
I spent a few years in law enforcement---- document everything!!!!! Time, date, person spoken with, phone number--everything. When you mail USPS, send it with a tracker to prove the article arrived and whom signed for it.
Get your money back and don't accept anything less. Then, move from Camping World and the products they schlep.
Just my opinion, other's may vary.

RE: Ram fuel mileage
I found the rig I wanted --- a 2023 Ram 6.4 black, Laramie with brown interior. The sales department said I will get 42 MPG at highway speeds and 27 towing!!!!!!!!! In fact, the mileage is So good, they can't even print it on the window sticker!!!!
O.K. Maybe the mileage is inflated a bit. The truth is, the truck I found was just dropped off at the dealer, and I was first in line for it.
I actually thought I wouldn't fine a gasser I wanted, so I was asking about the fuel mileage. Thanks all------
See ya out there

RE: Ram fuel mileage
Thanks to all----- This gives me an idea as to what to expect.
For note, the trailer I tow is a Outdoor 24RKS that grosses out at 9995 lbs.
It looks like I could expect about 10 to 12 MPG towing.
The last diesel I had was a Ford 6.0. It usually only went to and from the dealer for repairs, with an occasional camp trip squeezed in between. I've bypassed deisels since then, but the truck shortage has me peeking at them.

Ram fuel mileage
I would like to know a ball park MPG figure for a newer Ram 2500 diesel, towing a trailer and empty.
I don't want to start a typing war about which rig is the best. It looks like Hemi's are in short supply, but diesels are available for a price.
Thanks
