I will know more after driving it some more, but the 900+ ft lbs of torque is absolutely awesome. The new Dmax rocks. i will be hooking up a trailer to it early next week for a trip to Michigan, and we will see how it performs with a 7k trailer behind it. It will not know that it is there, as the capacity is way more than 7k, but will see mpg etc. The ram air is nicely done too. Air goes in the hood into a big chamber, with a scupper drain, then crosses over to the passenger side of the engine compartment, and then transfers from the hood to intake runners. It is very functional for sure. Can't wait to get it broken in and then see what it can do. I can already tell that the performance will be a big step up....will see soon.

just towed my 292 down to Florida and back. Avg 12.7 on way back, but had times on the way down was getting 16MPG for my last 50miles. curious if the ram air will help get any better. wonder if there is a conversion for my 2016.

I guess I'm just the cheapo of the group. Running an old 6 cylinder.

must be a Formula thing with GMCs. Definitely is with FOONJ. I picked up a summit white 2500HD in April. IDCE grabbed a 3500HD a few months before that. These trucks are beasts.

I knowI don't have a formula but it's not just you guys liking the gmc's. They are great trucks [IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/...pssc7jvukj.jpg[/IMG]

By any chance, do you happen to know the height of that boat on the trailer. Ground to top of windshield. I am in the process of buying a '97 271 and this would be some good info to have. If not, thanks anyways.

PS, I also have an '08 Tundra for towing.

2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Megacab Hemi. Suspension upgrades including Airlift WirelessONE airbag system. Tows my 1989 Formula 223LS.

Bowtie at heart.

It's a RAM - LOL

About 9700 lbs, not to concerned with the new 1500's - lots of brake and frame compared to early 2000 trucks. I maintain my trailer (unlike that picked up the boat from the previous owner), had no brakes and crap tires and stopped without issue when I got the boat.

Used my old 2012 V-6 Durango to pull my 280SS, since i saw it towing the 280SS in one of the Dodge commercials (used it for local towing only though - like a bit more track and wheelbase for the long freeway drives).
