The only emmisions issues were with the Duramax pre 2015 and that was/is DEF heater core which is still covered by GM

I bought an F250 to tow a 7,000# Arctic Fox. Then five years later bought a 10,000# Montana and didn't have to buy a new truck.
Buy a truck that can tow your next two trailers.

steveblonde said:A Ram 2500 along with any 2500 is still limited in its payload (5er pin wieght ) great for a TT but not a 5er

I added a PAC brake, Jake break whatever you want to call it. Payload was rated at 3900#. I had no problem pulling our 36', triple slide, triple axle 5th wheel. When I hooked up the trucks rear end didn't budge an inch. So, are the trucks today not as strong as they used to be? And why do I see so many folks with 4wd trucks (I have one because they did not have a 2wd on the lot).

steveblonde said:they still do make them like that BUT you have to order it and they are very rare breeds most trucks today are crew cabs 4x4 loaded with features etc etc all things that take away from payload
configure one you will see

actual payload is ALWAYS lower than what you will see on the website too because of options that are added
