From : Annonymous

Q: hi all we have ram 1500 4wd quad cab 5.7 hemi 3.92 axle ratio and 20 inch tires.we have been towing dry weight travel trailer that is 4500. we are now considering a dry weight trailer of 5700. we would put about 600 lbs of stuff so would be 6200. i spoke with local dodge dealer and also call chrysler yep the company to ask towing questions. the truck is rated to pull loaded trailer up to 7500. at 6200 we are well within the range. the truck has tow package and tranny cooler.it bugs my husband that even when towing the old trailer the tranny shifts a lot. i understand its normal but it bugs him that it is constantly shifting. any feedback from you guys and gals! out there on towing with this vehicle would be great. if he needs to quit worrying about it plz say so! thanks so much! anxiousley awaiting responses. he is taking trailer for a test spin tomorrow. tawnya-kennewickwa. .

gee is that all only 45 mpg ; by my estimates my old cushman will get around 65 -75 mpg when it hits the road and everyone knows the dependability of briggs engines. vbg -- budd cochran our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams jim dobbs wrote hi folks got a 96 2500 4x4. is there any way to add an overdrive to this rig im hearing lots of noise about fuel prices getting ready to take off -- trying to find a way to squeeze a little better mileage.... jim possible yes. cost efficient doubtful. gear vendors sells an od unit for a 4x4. but its expensive. you would have to buy a lot of fuel and drive a lot of miles to make it pay off. the bottom line is a dodge is a pig. theres not much you can do to change that. the best thing you can do is make sure the truck is well tuned tires are properly inflated and go easy on the gas pedal. keep in mind a harley dyna gets 45 mpg ; -- .bob arrived 2006 fxdi red. 1997 hd fxdwg - turbocharged stolen 11/26/05 in denver 1hd1gel10vy3200010 co license j5822z 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - 427w efi damn fast. *** posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com *** .
