tow vehicles

[bitter end]

whats working(or not) on the tow power? i pull a 23'o/b, 5000lb with a 2000 dodge ram 1500 4x4. tow package. new boat. thinking maybe need to upgrade to 2500. works well on the flats, hills are a bit tough.

bitter end,<br /><br />Jumping to the 2500 will nearly double the tow capacity - from 7,600# to 13,700# and only cost about 2 mpg. Should make the tow less strain in the hills.<br /><br />See: http://faceoff.intellichoice.com/FaceOff/Sponsors/national/FaceOff.asp?spon=national&NumModels=2&VehicleKey1=50210014&VehicleKey2=50210024&ModelDesc1=2000%20Dodge%20Ram+Pickup%20Ra m%201500%204WD%202%20Dr%20Regular%20Cab&ModelDesc2=2000%20Dodge%20Ram+Pickup%20Ram%202500%204WD%202%20Dr%20Regular%20Cab<br /><br />Semper Gumby<br />tcube
