Towing in Dallas, TX

Gas TV with remote for Boon docking would be great LOL

@Keith how many of your gasser's have you driven have an exhaust brake??? Listen to the owners of diesels who use( to own gasser and )actually drive them MA MA...Oil change costs me $68 at the Ram stealership every 5,000. New Ram disels you go every 7,000 miles between changes. Fuel filter costs me $40 every 15,000 miles. Easy to change yourself. My air filter is stock and costs $50 and does not need replaced except when the computer says but i change it@25,000 miles regardless. Don't get K&N if you have a Ford or Ram, it lets too much dirt through and can ruin your turbo and you have to oil it yourself.. Too much hassle.. My 2010 Ram 3500 Single rear wheel gets 20 hwy and 10-12 mpg towing I can go 250 miles through hills and mountains before a fill up with my 36' toyhauler weight 10,000 lbs empty. Do you want 400 ft pounds of torque or 800 when you want to tow your camper??? Do you want an exhaust (engine)brake to help slow you down a mountain pass or you want to just hope there is a handy runaway truck ramp when your brakes go out??? Use your diesel like any other vehicle. Use it to get grocerys, etc. When she pulls she will pull and want to pull MORE. Buy once cry once it's your money buy what you want. you don't need a diesel, but you will want one. head on over to Cumminsforum.com for an opinion from them...thats what i did before i bought mine. Chevy was too much $$$ Ram was cheaper and more maintainence friendly than Ford( less problems too,but don't let them Ford guys know that).

Keith Radecsky, the reason you're passing diesels is because you're half the weight, and much smaller rig, not because you're driving a gas powered vehicle.

Ma Ma Tracy -Try this forum for your homework regarding towing capacities - http://www.irv2.com/forums/f45/ Not that there aren't a lot of good folks here too - but I'm one to go with lots of knowledge from various sources - besides, a diversity of opinions might help you glean a good clue as to what is right for you and your particular situation. Good Luck!

Fifth wheel Safe Towing has a neat app you can calculate the right vehicle for your trailer http://fifthwheelst.com/

Buy once cry once. Diesel. Tow farther and safer. Exhaust brake. Less oil changes. Longer life since it doesn't work as hard. Get a new 2013 Cummins Ram with Aisin transmission if towing a trailer. Ram now has the highest towing capacity of the big three trucks. If I were to buy a Motorhome it would be diesel.

Wow! What a lot of great comments. Thank you for all of your input. We live in British Columbia and will likely be staying in western Canada and the Pacific Northwest, maybe down to California. A few big mountain passes between destinations for sure. We will likely be parked more than driving. I am looking at 3 or 4 "moves" a year with maybe some random travel. Right now I am looking at a 32 foot travel trailer: Unloaded Vehicle Weight (lbs) 7,445 Dry Hitch Weight (lbs) 1,015 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (lbs) 9,975 Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) 2,530

I had gas for decades... Now I have a diesel. OMG I wish I had a diesel my whole life! I tow 15,000 pounds with my GMC 6.6 Duramax Turbo (with Banks Power System) and Allison transmission. I'll tell you what every vehicle should have an Allison! It should be a law! Do yourself a big favor get diesel!

DO NOT LISTEN TO AN AUTO DEALER. They are trained to close sales. Most do not know the tow capacity of the trucks on the lot. Research the topic to the nth degree, decide what you want, then go looking. I've driven both and prefer diesel. We have a gas motor home now but move to diesel in the future.

Candace Rivero, great site, thanks
