Hmm. I got around 10, doing 80 or so on my bi-weekly trips between CA and NM (right about 1,000 miles) with an extra tall enclosed trailer behind it. And as mentioned, I've seen around 15 on my girlfriend's 3500's dash, after her pulling a much larger horse trailer. Yeah, I think you got a bad one.

I'd have to dig up the log book for that one. Can't remember if I ordered 4.10s or not. But I did use 17" inch wheels and the same smaller size tires as the '10 I had came with. I had done all my calculations based on those, but the '14 showed up with larger wheels and taller tires. Of course...

Even though it's even wider, and probably also taller?

The gearing has a lot to do with what the mileage is. My 1500 had 3.55s (I think, lower than standard) and it wasn't until putting 17" wheels and shorter tires on it that 8th gear was usable. Not towing, by the way. Standard gearing on the 2500 6.4 was also too tall to be efficient...

What's that in mpg?

A friend of mine tows for a living, first with 3500s, then a 4500, now a 5500, sometimes over 40,000 lbs. GCVW. He generally trades them in a little before reaching 500,000 miles, and have yet to replace any brake components. Of course, his are diesels with the great Cummins exhaust brake...

Not all that recent. I had two '14 2500s with the 6.4. Mileage was no worse than towing the same trailer with the prior 2500 that had a 5.7. Not sure how she does it, but I've hopped in her '20 3500 with a 6.4 after unhooking the horse trailer and seen about 15 mpg on the Lie-O-Meter. Of...

I think the Gen 5 1500s might be a little wider than the current Gen 4 2500/3500. At least they claim a roomier interior. But then again, something that starts with only a "1" must be easier to park than a "2" or a "3". That's just logical, right?

Those who feel that a '14-up Ram 2500 doesn't ride well must be either extremely delicate, or used to driving a '64 Buick Electra with original shocks. I also don't understand why a 2500 would be harder to park than a 1500. Yes, they can have longer beds, but the width is the same. By that...

One that really surprised was that "crinkle bent" exhaust pipe didn't seem to make any real difference compared to mandrel bent tubing. On the other hand, the length of the header collector apparently does matter quite a bit.
