What year Dodge, what engine, and what rear end? I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 5.7L engine with a HEMI; 3.55 axle ratio, and I'm rated to tow 8700 pounds. The 4.7L Dodge engines are rated much lower.

I would stay with your Tundra, for sure. I just traded in my Taco for a Dodge Ram 1500 HEMI, b/c I wasn't happy pulling our Prime Time Tracer 195M (traditional TT).

Thanks for the quick responses! I've towed trailers of one sort or another since I was 16, and I'm WAAAAYYYY older than that now, starting with a horse trailer and going as large as a 34 foot fifth wheel/Ford F-250 combination. I hesitate to pull the 24T with the Tacoma. I don't want to be at...

There's a good reason it's illegal in most states - it's dangerous!

Fireballsocal, I agree with you. DH and I don't mind haggling at all. If the dealer automatically offtered $1000 off over the phone, then there's more wiggle room. He even admitted that it had been on their lot for awhile. We figure that if the dealer won't come down, it wasn't meant to be...

Thanks for your responses! We're going to look at the trailer tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. We'll definitely use the checklist above!

Hi - new to the forum! DH and I are considering a 2006 Hi-Lo 2406 being offered at a dealer within a decent drive of us. Here's the link: Crown RV :: 2006 Hi Lo 2406 TT. The sales manager has agreed to knock $1000 off the listed price, and his dealership can service Hi-Lo's. Does anyone else...
