I thought towing for the 7.3 Tremor was 16800. That's higher than the Ram. Also is that conventional or gooseneck that you're referring too?Still shopping ram vs super duty tremor. 3/4. Gas. Question. Why does the ram 4.1 axle show high towing then the super duty 4.3 ???
Most likely because you are looking at conventional towing on the Ford (15K). Max towing on a F250 Tremor 5er/goose is listed at 17,500. Please note that is for lightest available model most likely a no option added XLT and will go down as you add options above that, but Ford doesn’t easily list how much. The 7.3L SRW variants of the Superduty use a 2.5” receiver that is rated for just a touch over 15K which is probably why conventional towing is limited to 15K. https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/...-guides/2021_Ford_RVandTrailerTowingGuide.pdfStill shopping ram vs super duty tremor. 3/4.

Interesting, the Ford 2.5” receiver hitch is only rated at about 15,200. Will confirm when I get home. There are times I wish there was a 3” hitch option on the gas SRW’s especially since I have a F350. For now I have been able to track down a gooseneck trailer to use when renting heavier equipment but would be nice having the option to pull a bigger pintle trailer.Soooo I’m 99% sure it’s conventional. If you look at the 3.73 gear w ram it drops.
im seeing 15k max tremor towing on that guide above....?
The other side of that is payload too. The 7.3 Tremor payload is gonna be within 250 lbs of 4,000 lbs depending on trim and options which trounces what's listed there for the RAM. A stripped down XLT would probably be right at 4k while I have a Lariat/Sport/Ultimate/Dual Battery at 3,761 lbs

You're right my bad! Missed that! Carry on!your comparing a f350 to a ram 2500. Not the same

WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER WANT TO OWN A RAM?????
SERIOUS QUESTION....
Interior RAM over Ford anytime... it looks just so much more refined and luxurious.
Diesel Cummins over Powerstroke anytime... nothing beats I6 low end torque...
So you base your truck purchase on a fancy interior??
I just dont get it. To me the Ram is a turd with some gold spray paint on it.
Sure the Cummins is a fantastic option no question, but its still a good engine attached to a turd with gold spray paint.
well for one usually sit inside the truck and since it’s our RV tow vehicle usually for long hours hence I do value a nice interior. In my view RAM since 2018 just smokes Ford at least for now for now when it comes to that - yet have to see the 2021 f150 to see if they upped their game - it’s just so much more refined and A LOT LESS cheap plastics... haptics is another league in the RAM... the ride quality with the air suspension is unmatched with other trucks... Mechanically I’ve never had an issue with my RAMs so got nothing to complain...
turd may be your view for me there are plenty of reasons I’d go RAM over Ford again, yet I decided for a F350 tremor because of the 7.3 gas engine...
Some people like to fix rust.WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER WANT TO OWN A RAM?????
SERIOUS QUESTION....
So front end issues, coil springs in the rear, terrible resale value on anything without a cummins, not to mention a just hideous exterior, but hey its got fancy interior and less plastic.
An yes they do have nice interiors, I cant lie, but its because Ram goes cheap on the "guts" of the truck and spends the dollars on a fancy interior so 5 years down the road you have a truck with terrible depreciation(Cummins Exluded), a ton of issues, but hey, its got nice leather, a big screen, and soft touch places lol..
If I wanted UBER luxury I would drive a Navigator.
Because I wanted a truck that can handle hard work and last more than a few years I went with a F-350.
Sorry for ranting, Not trying to, but I just cannot understand how the Ram still sells when the GM and Ford are much better options.
