New to Ram (again)...2020 2500 Tradesman

[Eatonpcat]

Owned Fords for the last 20 years, liked the looks of the new Ram and got one.

Had a 1991 Dodge Ram 250 - Best truck I ever had!

Thanks for letting me into the group with the cool kids!!

Lookin good, I like the blue

 

[Eatonpcat]

Thanks Brother...I wanted Silver or Gray, but could not find one with the options that I wanted. Actually this one doesn't have some of the options that I wanted.

 

[DammitDave]

I know what you mean, I couldn't find the options I wanted and the local dealer was no help. I drove 3 hours away to get one with the options I wanted. Kinda basic 6.7 4X4, wanted Snow Chief package and manual Transfer case shifter, and no carpet ( I have two dogs). Could have done without chrome package but it's nice. Color was the least of my worries.

Yep, I drove 2.5 to get mine and still didn't get everything I wanted...Pickings were pretty slim. What are you towing with that big diesel??

Congrats and enjoy your new ride! I also came over from Ford and went with a Tradesman CC Long Box. It has more than enough creature comforts for me. I don't need power seats. I am 6'5" so the seat goes all the way back and stays there!

Congrats! I came from a 2016 Ford F-250 to the 2019 Ram 3500 DRW. Enjoy the truck!

I've got a 30 foot bumper pull toyhauler. Heading out to Taylor Park, Colorado at the end of August and decided my 2012 1/2 ton chevy with a 5.3 and 150,000 miles on it probably wasn't going to like pulling through the mountains very much.

Awesome, 30 foot is a big trailer...double or triple axle?

She got totaled many years ago in an accident. 190,000+ miles and running strong when she passed. If you still want pics I have some!

 

[DammitDave]

Always cool to share pics on this forum. My trailer has two 6000 lbs. axles, 14' garage, ideal for two four wheelers. I'll dig around and post some pics of trailer.

Congrats on the new truck!

Clearance lights, Woohoo!

 

[DammitDave]

Finally found them trailer pics

 

[Eatonpcat]

Nice rig, I thought about getting a toy hauler years ago to take my Rhino camping and riding but never did. Must be your old truck in the picture!

 

[DammitDave]

Yes, it really put the squat on that 1/2 ton chevy, even with a weight distribution hitch.

I have a story similar to yours. Owned Ford over 20 years. I just picked up a new RAM 2500. Very happy so far.

When I was young, I had 1984 Dodge 4x4. That truck was a beast!
