Very cool, thanks for sharing! My 2010 Ram Cummins tows a 50ft Gooseneck daily loaded to over 20k and sometimes 30k without a problem.

well after looking at ratings and talking to people who have the trucks, decided their ratings are just plain bull**** !! yes they may do it...but not very good...so #'s are useless to me...

The Ram Dually seems to lose every heads up towing performance comparison it's in.

Maybe this year will be different, but the previous gen got its azz handed to it by both other brands.

Kind of like how the Ford 6.7 is supposed to have more power and Torque than the Dmax that it looses every time to.

Tow rating are little more than marketing hype.

According to OSO it sounds like the perfect truck to tow a 30' boat.
Anything over that you`ll need a bigger truck of course.

30,000 #'s is great, but will it start and move ? Don't forget its a Dodge.
