  1. RAM 1500 EcoDiesel 3rd Gen General Discussion
    Hi y’all, I’ve search and read and searched some more but haven’t been able to find the info/opinions I’m looking for. I’ve got a 2020 ED currently with 23k miles (bought with 8k). Over the years I’ve towed just about everything with just about every truck made the last 20 years. I still own a...
  2. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    I have a 2015 ecodiesel that I bought used last year. One previous owner. He had it "tuned" (as he put it) so they removed the catalytic converter and recirculator so it does not use def and has a turn dial for adjusting the throttle/transmission reaction. I do not think he got the GDE control...
  3. RAM 1500 EcoDiesel 3rd Gen Towing & Hauling
    Hi, I have a 2016 EcoDiesel Outdoorsman tuned + deleted and I'm hoping to tow around 7000 lbs with it. After doing some research it seems that lots of people are towing 8000+ lbs no problem but there's no mention of how their ecodiesels are spec'd (tunes, suspension, other upgrades, etc.) I'm...
  4. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    Hello folks, it's been a while since I have posted. To start, I have a 2014 eco Bighorn 4x4. I bought it new in October of 14 and have 167,000 miles on him. It's been a fantastic truck! It is completely stock. No tunes mods or anything else. I tow a 35' Jayco that's around 7500lbs and it does a...
  5. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    Well I finally let the wife talk me into a TT. We picked it up from the dealer Friday and they set up my WDH for me but I wanted to put some numbers up and see what the more experienced tow guys thought. The trip home was only about 35 miles and it was quite gusty and a little hilly but...

    About two years old. I have hardly towed (maybe once or twice a year), so I don't need them. Holds air perfectly. Brass fittings all around. powder coat is coming off in some spots but corrosion is only surface level. Pictures below. $260 Shipped
  7. RAM 1500 EcoDiesel 3rd Gen Towing & Hauling
    Hey guys, I'm a new member. I bough my new 3rd gen ecodiesel last thursday and want to eventually install a trailer brake. I was having a hard time finding one with it pre installed in my price range. (Basically just the limiteds have it at the dealership) I was trying to get the dealer to...

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to announce a new project I have started called "ECOBRAP". We are a YouTube channel and social media platform that aims to reduce the carbon footprint of racing (Yes, barking up the wrong tree, I know). But the purpose of the channel is to show that we can still have...
  10. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    I see quite a few first time travel trailer towers using the Eco Diesels. I believe this truck is a perfect match to many of the newer ultra lite TT's. Get out there and Enjoy your Eco and TT. My Coachman Apex dry weight with accessories is just under 6300lbs and tows great. Ensure you use a...
  11. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    Hey guys, So as I put in the title... should I go with a regular spring truck and add air bags? Or go with the factory 4-corner air suspension? I tow a ~6700lbs dry, so likely 7500lbs or so loaded, 29" RV. I have a WDH. I'm looking to trade in my 2015 Hemi 1500 for an EcoDiesel. Likely for...
  12. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    All - A quick tow report since I do not see too many pontoon towing reports..... Hoping for some feedback on my transmission temp that I was seeing. Also curious about the tow haul mode and what it actually "locks out" as I was able to get into 8th gear for a good part of the trip. (I did...
  13. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    Took our first long trip with the ED, about 2000 miles total, towing a 5200 lb loaded Airstream travel trailer, with a light 200 lb load in the bed. Also have a Hensley-Arrow non-sway hitch, which adds about 90 lbs of tongue weight. Notably, this was also the first tow after swapping the GY...
  14. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    I'm curious what everyone's experience towing has been specifically on the highway with the ED. passing on the highway - going from 65 mph to 80mph with a substantial tow (e.g. 5k 6k lbs)?? Does the ED feel labored at all? What kind of comparisons / contrasts to a V8?
  15. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    Hi Everyone! My name is Jeff and over the years I've become a bit of an expert on pickup suspensions. Specifically the rear suspension. In fact I've spent a number of years developing an airbag overload kit specifically for 1/2 ton pickups that I now call Total Load Control. Now I'm not here to...
  16. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    Just got home from our 35 day trip out west. Started on the Eastern shore of Maryland at 9' above sea level pulling our Coachman Apex 34.5' bunkhouse travel trailer. Had an oil change, fuel filter change and air filter change the day before we left. Total towing miles were 6980. CAT scaled...

    Hey Guys, at what weight of a trailer are you using the tow/haul button??
  18. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    Hey Guys! Here's my Heavy Duty Towing report for a 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. My journey began in beautiful Western Wyoming. Picked up an empty Kaufman Trailers custom made full tilt bed 20FT 10000 lb rated trailer in Nebraska and hooked it up to my 2014 Ecodiesel. Here's the photo: Then we...
  19. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    So I have only had my truck for a few weeks. 2015 1500 crew Last weekend we took our first trip towing our 17foot Casita camper. about 3500 pounds. The route was pretty hilly and one 20 mile sections of small very steep driving up and down. Truck performed amazingly well. The entire trip was...
  20. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    We bought our 2014 BigHorn EcoDiesel July 2014, now have 16k miles on it, no troubles - other than the first time I went to tow my 3 horse slant trailer, the tires immediately blew. The provided tires are simply not enough for towing anything of significance. My trailer weighs about 3000 lbs...
