this video is awesome. the updates for each section were good to see for anyone looking to purchase a newer ram. i mean egt temps stayed below 1k which is pretty impressive with the trailer and truck on the back. My previous 03 F250 7.3 always saw about 1400 when loaded, and this was a small 18ft hitch trailer and car on it. i'm excited to see how my 12 6.7 cummins does with a gooseneck.
I hope you got the electric over hydraulic disk brakes. I trailer often in the 30k Gross range and think they are a must man they work so much better than the regular electrics. We have been running the Aisin medium dutys at work for several years and grossing in the 40K range and no issues.
Great content! Six in a row, built to tow! Using the truck for exactly what it was designed to do. Love how much space the megacab has. Thanks for sharing and thank your wife and kids for going along, good to get some family time while entertaining us.
Nice truck. Make sure to constantly check the welds on that Big Tex, and the wiring routed through access holes. 2 biggest and constant issues with Big Tex trailers.
I'd suggest coating the wood deck with new or used motor or ATF oil. I did 3 coats in 24 hours, 18 months later wood is still in perfect condition (except the few forklift operator oops marks). I'm out of Arizona, tge sun & heat will destroy that wood, oil is the best option. FYI, I have a '19 HO Cummins Aisin 3500 pulling 44' 30K trailer. I average just under 8 mpg loaded, 12.5 empty.
I agree unloaded it's not the best but like I told you when you load it down it just wants to work. Not only does it want to work it just keeps asking for more.
Love the road trips mate. Coming from Australia it’s always nice to see the scenery and vehicles from another country. Keep up the great content and love the channel!
Awesome setup man! This is honestly a dream of mine. Just working on trucks, racing, having a blast with family and friends right there with you. Much respect man
Great trip I have a 2018 dodge ram 3500 and I love that truck I have it setup the way I wanted I could have got a 5th Gen ram but I wanted to transfer all of my goody that I had on my 2017 2500.
My company truck is an 18 3500 road service truck load at 16-18k at all times has 215k and climbing. Average is 12mpg shes a little crazy in inclimate weather but it doesnt know stop (unless its fuel time)
Very nice tow rig. The fuel economy is not great, especially at 75 mph. Have you tried slowing back to 50 -55 and observe what the fuel consumption is at that speed. Remember drag is quadrupled as the speed is doubled. My 02 Dodge Ram HO get well into the 20's at 50 - 55 (I've gotten up to 26 mpg empty @ 45 mph) but drops like a Simonized piano at 75 mph to about 12 - 14 empty.
@@horsetorquesdieselI guess i asked for that. Np. Too late. Im running away from all the CA people. They know about Utah also. I erased my first comment. Adaptive cruise control and braking almost caused a huge accident in my rig. It is very dangerous. I get very angry when i hear that option. I don't do social media very well. Sorry.
Some 5th gen cummins has high output engine are expensive. You know what I think the ram will be excellent to buy the 5th gen cummins with 68RFE transmission. The 68RFE are good transmission except the RAM 3500 will use 68RFE too.
Wd40 that ball and hooks whenever you put it in. If you leave them in for an extended period of time they will get stuck and its a pain to get the ball out
Make sure your trailer brake settings are correct (using radio head unit). I assume (hope) you have at least electric over hydraulic brakes for that trailer. I went through front pads at 40K because I didn't adjust the Ram settings. Just trying to help out
Freaking ads...."im so glad glad I got the ram, it just handles the weight so much better" ford ad immediately after...."looking for a truck to get the work done? Super duty" 🤦♂️🤣
That's an impressive tow rig . If I were to buy a truck with a automatic and I don't think the newer trucks have a standard transmission I would want a Asian transmission over the other choice . I was told that it was a close copy to a Allison no idea if that's true . The fuel economy you got at those speeds was pretty impressive . The e brake is a great also . Truck has a lot of nice features also. I know you have a lot of experience but one thing I like to carry in the back of my truck is a can of anti. seize .
The ball hitch is the most ignorant idea I have ever seen for gooseneck ball hitch. Who the heck wants to operate the little lever on the ball head, when it’s supposed to the be covered in grease? Love you video though. Thank you for sharing this with us. 👍
I watched your last road trip with the 1300hp truck getting 18-20mpg with a truck on the trailer also. How can it be that your stock truck gets 10-15mpg? Beautiful truck just crank it up!
at 3 minutes and 32 seconds into your video, you said, “you just gotta be a little more careful with these mega cabs”. Why is that? I’m looking to buy a 2022 Ram 3500, Laramie, Mega Cab. Also, I’m looking to get a Big Tex 22 GN gooseneck trailer. I don’t mind giving you my number if you want to call me. Feel free to block yours if you do decide to call me.
Best way to break in your new truck!!!! Make the old girl sweat a bit. It’s the people who never hook a trailer to a diesel that have issues with the emissions system.
Josh you have a rig to be very proud of it looks awesome I'm surprised with your comment on the Exhaust brake my son has a 2020 2500 and the exhaust brake is Pathetic towing his RV in the mountains in the Virginia's it was pretty much useless Great job taking the family with you As always God bless you and your family and stay safe out there 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Did ya have any issues with the hub seals leaking on the 16? I have all sorts of issues out of the oil bath style. I converted to grease but I think they make upgraded aftermarket seals. Something to look into if you run across issues.
What did you run for a monitor in your 11? Just purchased one and would like to get some sort of monitor to watch everything. Truck already has efi tunes
Those caps are better than the piece of shit ones on the fords. Load up like a pallet or something and hit one of those ✌️good luck finding it. The big tanks are always nice until you run it low and instead of a $100 bill, it hits that and the tank just laughs "boy I'm only half way there" 😂😂😂
Awesome truck! I’m honestly thinking about trading in my 18 3500 limited for the same exact thing... do you mind me asking what you paid for that truck? Thanks man.
@@horsetorquesdiesel Sticker was that much? I priced one the other day every option except for DRW and got to 91,500. Do you mind me asking what dealer? I’m looking for that exact kind of deal. I said if I can get it under 90 including tax I’ll do the move
Realy nice truck man! it's nice to see a real life tow scenario on a 5th gen ram!
Thank you!
I have the same truck. I love it.. great truck. Wish I pulled trailers more often then I do
Big Tex makes awesome trailers!
I agree!

I've used big tex trailers for years and have had no problems
Sitting at the dealer now awaiting delivery on my 2021 3500 HO Laramie! Having them swap out my wheels from my 2018 6.4 2500!

IVE HAD FORD CHEVY AND RAM TRUCKS AND MY NEW 2021 RAM 3500 LIMITED IS MORE COMFORTABLE AND TOWS AMAZING!!!! GOOD LUCK WITH UR NEW SET UP!!!!!!
Nice road trip ! Really nice setup 💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you sir!!!
Nice truck. Make sure to constantly check the welds on that Big Tex, and the wiring routed through access holes. 2 biggest and constant issues with Big Tex trailers.

Thank you!
That truck is slick! I can't wait to own a trailer like that!
I’ll be selling this one soon so let me know!
Now your gonna make me piss off my wife but I'm down for sure!

Nice video man! Thanks for the content. I ordered my 3500 HO CTD Limited about a month ago. Hopefully it's about 2-3 more months until it arrives...
It’s worth the wait!
Not sure if you plan on deleting the truck but coolant temps drop significantly while towing and mpgs go up as well after delete. Highly recommend.
Awesome setup man! This is honestly a dream of mine. Just working on trucks, racing, having a blast with family and friends right there with you. Much respect man
Plenty of diesel shops hiring man!
@@horsetorquesdiesel Any advice on finding something entry level?
God bless your beautiful children. There are really special!!! 😊👍

Big Tex with mega cab you said be careful… what do you mean by that. Thanks
It’ll smack the cab on tight corners if you aren’t watching

No I’d rather go 75-80mph and get worse mileage, maybe when I go through California I can try it. 55 in a 75-80 is dangerous for everyone
45 is way too slow man that's not relatively safe when people are going 65
Towing beast ☝️.
Great video. Thanks. P.S. Vegas sucks now im moving to Cedar City UT.
Don’t we are full

We pulled our 44ft Raptor 5th wheel from San Diego all the way up the coast and the whole time people were cutting me off like crazy.

I destroyed a 68rfe with my 6.4 at 59k.
Big Tex is in The House 👍
I will also do the ⛽️ upgrade !
Nice trailer josh!!! Thanks again for the shout out yesterday!!!
Anytime!
When you say you have to be careful with the big Tex trailers, what did you mean by that?
They will smack the cab on short bed trucks quick with the wider neck
Shoulda stoped for a burrito at the place outside main gate in Oceanside. Only Thing I miss about comiefornia lol. Slick truck and trailer.
How much was your truck bro and trailer ? If you don’t mind me asking I wanna get one just like this
Nice I bought a Flat Bed from that place in Beaumont as well. Decent dealer.
Come order one at trailer source in Hurricane Utah when you are ready
The wait time was too long unfortunately and y’all sold the enclosed one I wanted
I totally understand it’s crazy times on trailers when you are ready to order one we can for you on a enclosed or Diamond C
Wd40 that ball and hooks whenever you put it in. If you leave them in for an extended period of time they will get stuck and its a pain to get the ball out
Nice I’ll do that!
I love my shlong box fords but I'd defiantly consider a mega cab
Do you need a CDL with that setup? I've been looking at the 3500 Laramie and the 22GN.
The exhaust brake on the rams is amazing!!! I couldn't understand why you removed the vgt turbo on your 2011.
I bought it that way
@@horsetorquesdiesel gotcha. Enjoy the vgt it's awesome!
is this OEM goosenet kit?
G rated tires would be a good idea. Nice set up though 🔥👍😎
In the plans after a couple trips
@@horsetorquesdiesel 👍 love your channel. Nice truck ☝️🤙
New to your channel. Nice mega! Turn off blind spot, then that max load light by rpm gauge will go away. Took me a while to figure it out
put a light bar and a winch on the trailer and get a titan fuel tank 50 gallon
50 gallon tank is already on order!
@@horsetorquesdiesel and get train horns
Make sure your trailer brake settings are correct (using radio head unit). I assume (hope) you have at least electric over hydraulic brakes for that trailer.
I went through front pads at 40K because I didn't adjust the Ram settings. Just trying to help out
Appreciate it! We did go through the setup!
Please put it on dyno
Nice trailer it looks like you picked it up in Beaumont that's right next door to me
That is where we grabbed it!

Definitely don't have scenery like that in northern Indiana :-P
No definitely not!
I watched your last road trip with the 1300hp truck getting 18-20mpg with a truck on the trailer also. How can it be that your stock truck gets 10-15mpg? Beautiful truck just crank it up!
How do you like the Asian over the 68?
Yes for towing it is far superior. Daily driving not so much

Hey brotha I’m really interested on knowing what did you pay for the truck I’m looking for the same exact spec !!
Sticker 96k I was out the door for 87,500, the guy was a fan of pdd so I got lucky
How and why is it regening at only 630 miles?
It’s a time/ mileage counter
What are the spec on the truck? Price?
What’s that Lil gizmo? Should i get one? New to diesel.
You keep saying you have to be careful with the mega, why is that?
Short bed big cab, if you turn too sharp you’ll smack the cab.
Big horn or Laramie?

Man that 3500 and the f450 really blow the chevy away ive heard the rams exhaust brake is better so 🤷♂️
