Biography

Our tow is 2020 Ram 1500 Crew 4x4, E Torque Hemi, Built to Serve Big Horn with tow mirrors, 3.21 locking rear axle, tow package, includes trailer brake control, blind spot alert, larger infotainment screen, panoramic roof and bed load package from factory in Ceramic Gray. It came with 23 gallon fuel tank, great for day to day (I get 22 mpg at 70 mph flat) but wish I had 33 for towing out west, so doing conversion now.
Added B&W undermount gooseneck hitch with turnover ball, Andersen Ultimate Gooseneck tool box version in aluminum, bed mount trailer plug, and DWS 5th Wheel toolbox in black (mounted to rails with a pair of aluminum handrails from Home Depot and stainless hardware. Realized Truck was built before and after pandemic factory shutdown so had stock suspension instead of off-road, so switched to Bilstein springs and shocks front and rear ( Bilstein springs and shocks front B8-112 kit and rear B-12 special springs and 5160 shocks ), and added a rear anti roll bar Hellwig:
