Got the hitch installed by the dealer as promised this morning, wiring all done and trailer brake controller installed, finally got it the trailer hooked up and took it for a little test spin. Wow this 4.7L has *****, it feels like it's on there of course but definatly doesn't feel bogged down like the little 4.0L I-6 Jeep, I immediatly used the Tow/Haul feature but didn't try it without.

I did kind of find it funny they went ahead and put the Class 4 hitch on there rated at 12000lbs, truck with 3.92 gears can tow 7300lbs not sure how much more it could tow with different gears without totally killing gas mileage. But I doubt no where near 12k

EDIT: Oh yeah inside the trailer is a 2005 Honda ST1300 ABS (sport touring bike)





The Jeep now looks tiny in comparison!

 

Looks good. You'll also notice that the hitch is rated at 12K with a weight distribution system and 5K without. At least mine is. I seriously doubt it has changed that much. Nice looking rig you've got there.

 

totally agree man the 4.7 gots some ***** i have one i wouldn't give it up for anything, it still surprises me all the time when i hit the pedel

 

Trailer looks much better behind that ram! Yep, the 4.7 is a very stout engine, great truck engine, and makes for a fun vehicle. Oh, and the Hemi's are fun too.

 

You also won't get pushed around and the longer wheelbase is a plus for sure.
