Whatever. I can tell from your tone that you have become defensive. Kind of like the 'smoke screen' and deflections politicians put out.

None. But how does that change the facts? Don't forget that the GMC products also had no problems. Only the Ford.

It's not the flexing per se, it is the need to replace the damaged tailgate because of the flexing.

That's interesting. Do you have some actual numbers? Could it be this new frame technology. I think it's called Hydroformed, or something like that. I do know that it is a fully boxed frame providing...

You said the key word. Dry Weight. One never uses the dry weight. You always use the GVW which in both our cases is 16,500#. When was the last time you towed totally empty with no manufactures...

How So?? My truck is rated to tow 29000# with a GCVWR of 37500#. The RW will only weigh 16500#. How are you able to tow your 36RL with only a RAM 3500 DRW 6.7 Cummins?

It would appear that the GCWR is more of a calculated number. Since the tow rating is 29,000# and the truck weighs 8500#, that calculates to a GCWR of 37,500#. Now, if the tow rating is the made up...

Saw your post this morning but had to head toward LAX. About 100 miles to the West. Your comment on the GCWR being 30,000 seemed incorrect. So, I searched the truck's door panels and there is no...

I don't recall. Each added leaf is about 1/4" x 2. But without a load there is just no sag. The RAM sits higher anyhow than my old '08 Ford 350 4x4 DRW. But I don't have a number.

Bed Rail Height

My RAM is set up for a heavy truck camper (sold unit). The truck bed rail is 60" high unloaded. I'm very concerned about the clearance of the 36RL overhang and the bed rails.

For a 36RL, can...

Many thanks for all of your inputs. I'm uncomfortable pushing the limits. I'll just have to play dumb. I won't have to work very hard doing that.
