Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

LONG AWAITED TRUCK FINALLY HERE!
Permalink  

Well the LONG awaited new truck is finally in my driveway!!!!!

Picked it up yesterday at AutoNation in Seattle.

2015 RAM LongHorn Dually Crew Cab Aisin/4:10's rear air ride.


So far with just a couple hours behind the wheel I like it. There are so many new things to learn compared to my 11 HO Dually LongHorn I traded in.

I was NOT happy with the ride. The factory had 80psi on all 6 tires so I dropped the rears to 45 and it rode MUCH better. 

The Aisin/4:10 combo will really get the load moving easily compare to the 11 with 68RFE/3:42's. 

The "Full On" exhaust brake mode is awesome. 

The front suspension makes the 11's look wimpy! Very massive.

Have a B&W RVK3600 sitting in the bed in two boxes and am anxious to get that installed and my HighwayProducts bed height tool box installed.

Can't wait to hook up and really give it a workout!

A buddy of mine has the same looking truck. He really likes it.....Especially the stitching on the seats. He's into horses so it kind of looks like "Saddle Stitching".

Congrats!  We have the same truck (2013, brown & gold).  It's a beautiful truck and tows and stops great.  At first I thought the interior was a bit much, but now I love it.  We're in it so much, it's just very comfortable and enjoyable.  Comes with EVERYTHING!  The temps dipped to low 20s for several days and we wondered if it had an engine heater/outlet.  Wondered if we were supposed to order it.  Nope, there it was.  We're still learning things about it.  Only thing at all I can think I'd change... the shiny silver trim around the cup holder area in the console, I'd have made that a brushed silver like other parts of the trim because occasionally the sun will hit it at just the right angle and it blinds you.  But that's it, we just love it!

Conratulations!

 I traded in a 11 HO LongHorn that looks nearly identical.  It was a great truck at 65k only issue was fan motor made some noise and a headlight went out.  Towed our 20K MobileSuites nicely but this will really tow it!

I never noticed the glare but now I will!  biggrin

 I like the big belt buckles on the side of the truck!

Congratulations.

 You won't regret it!

Talk to Trevor at AutoNation in Seattle they beat DaveSmith.  Truck price was the same but they did a lot better than DS on the trade.

Ya know when I bought my 11 HO longhorn Dually I thought my grin could not get any bigger when driving it but I think I found some new teeth with this new 15! Truly amazing and I have not even towed yet!

 For a shop truck I have a '92 Dodge 350 dually. Manual trans and intercooled. Only 145,000 kms (Not Miles). That'd be about 87,000 miles. A buddy of mine bought it brand new for their company. It was a cab/chassis and they had built a custom deck c/w tool boxes and built-in slip tank and hidden transfer pump. I sure wish they made that vintage of truck still today.

We also just picked up our new RAM Laramie 3500 Dually 8' box, last Friday. Husband was really apprehensive about the dually, so will take some getting used to for him. I personally think it drives much better than our 2005 GMC 2500 CC. It is huge and has so much techie stuff it will take a while to figure it all out. Love, love the interior and outside is pretty too! Will post a picture when I get around to being outside for more than a minute. Below zero and just above here in Iowa lately. Next winter we will definitely be on the road again. Heading to RV-Dreams rally in TN in April so first trip hauling the Airstream with this monster. :)

 You will love how well it will handle your RV!

 

Just driving around is a pleasure.  The new RAM's are so refined.
