shes no ghost - just thought this thread was about the tow vehicles not the camper - this was less than 1/2 hr before leaving from a cruise after camper got lifted to match new truck. was supposed to be done 2 weeks earlier but got it home before flying out

looked at the ford but just couldn't do that to myself - didn't want to be stuck pulling a pop up lol

Hmmm, I though this was a tow vehicle thread also...

This is a Towing rig Thread, but seems some need proof that Rams can really tow.

heck that gray one pulled our last camper from Michigan to San Francisco - left on a Friday night at 3:30pm and got into the campground at 2:30 Monday - that including a servicing at Reno that delayed us 3 hrs. another trip to bar harbor Maine - lots of smaller trips too. that was a hard drive for any truck up thru the rocky mountains and never slowed a bit - part of the reason for another RAM. just went a little heavier suspension this time around. if the gray one is still around in the spring you might still see it at a campground or two. the ride on the 1/2 ton is smoother and I keep driving it till it sells. heck it only has 72,000 on it and is fully rigged so I keep on trucking

Relax..... I was joking. There's a lot of highway queen Rams around here and everywhere else that think it's so cool to run the mirrors out... It's a known joke in the diesel truck world. I meant no harm. I am not partial to any brand truck. I prefer the one that works for what I need. However, I am a Ford mechanic so I am a little biased. But like I said, I was just teasing.

no problem - the mirrors were out on the gray one for pictures for an ad we ran - autotrader was a waste of money by the way. tried to sell a 2wd in the winter in michigan is a hard sell - so I decided to drive it till spring lol. Future SIL works at a ford delaership and drives a dodge :/

That baby would be an awesome candidate for a 2012 conversion!!! This guy has done a bunch of these type of swaps! He actually specializes in it now. Quite impressive
