Hello all... I have a 07 1500 with a Hemi... and when i bought it I was not planing on towing... But now me and the Mrs.... Are looking at campers... and I need to know what i need to get the truck ready.... I'm sure the camper dealership will set it up... but i wanna know what I need and don't need so i don't get reameed tooo hard.... I'm sure I could have searched the forum for clues.... But I figured I'd start anew because thoughts change... But the truck is a 4X4... Hemi... 3.55's.... Limited slip.... Thanks in advance...

 

Get bigger diff covers and keep them diff's serviced. electric brake, might need to invest in some tow mirrows. if power becomes a issue look into a programmer and possible gear change.

 

You will lose some pulling ability with the 3:55's but not horribly. Your truck should be limited to about 7000lbs towing capacity.Make sure that you have a larger alternator, get a nice tranny cooler (the bigger the better), go synthetic on all your oil fluids if you can (tranny, motor, diff). You will need a good brake controller (Tekonsha makes really good controllers), towing mirrors (you can get **** add ons from Camping World and they are ok). Get a good class IV or better hitch and a very good 7 pin connector. Honestly - A couple of bucks more up-front will save you a ton of money down the road. Good luck and happy camping..

 

Here is a good place to research part prices. This is OEM Dodge stuff.

Sway control ! Lots of ways to do it. You canthank me later. Especially after that big rig blows by you and does not push you over 3 feet.
