    Hi Larry,
    The 2022 Ram 2500 diesel weighs approximately 8,000LB. I have a 2018 Newmar Dutch Star with a 450hp Cummins ISL - pretty standard for that vintage... I took both up to Vancouver, WA to Roadmaster's facility and they did the installation of their tow bar setup... It tow just ok - learned after the fact that the independent front axles on the GM truck products tow straight as an arrow, but the solid axle Ford and the Dodge products constantly wander just a bit, but enough that you have to work the wheel... Had the front end aligned on the truck and no difference - just the nature of the beast... Coach by itself tracks beautifully... Costs me about a 1/2 mile to the gallon in fuel consumption and climbing the mountains is naturally slower, but since the brakes are engaged proportionally, going down is no problem... Hope this helps...
