[QUOTE="Jody Treadway, post: 714681, member: 8210"] I DD and tow with a 2015 Ram 2500 4X4 SWB CC with the 6 speed manual. Running 35's with the OEM 3.42 gears. Bought it new and currently has 56,xxx miles on it 100% trouble free. I tow our camper (4500#) and also my Ranger on a 34' GN (10K). Hand calculated I get 16.5 empty and 10-12 towing (depending on load and route) The only thing I have done to the truck is added a BD throttle doohicky that opens the throttle much quicker than stock. It effectively gets rid of the Dodge "dead pedal" Sometimes I wished I had the Aisin trans with the higher torque tune, but I also like having a simple truck with a manual trans. I used to build Mopar transmissions at the dealer and am/was fully aware of their lack of reliability. I do plan to delete and add a tow tune at 80K. I'll also install an appropriate clutch at the same time. When I bought the truck I wanted a low option XLT Ford, being a Ford guy. But a similarly equipped F250 was at least $10k more than my Tradesman. I paid $42xxx for mine brand hammer new in May of 2015. Pretty hard to beat IMO. [/QUOTE]
