Really enjoy your towing video content. It's nice to see someone who does his research before purchasing his truck and trailer. I get tired of being told I worry too much about being legal with my driver's license class, truck registration, and keeping within the truck's limits.

brakes are a huge thing! if ur being pushed down the grapevine by 30k pounds it's nice to know you can slow it/stop it. most modern trucks will engine brake pretty well once you figure it out, but having those discs is a huge plus. 👍

Each state is different but federal highway laws and bridge laws are tough. In NJ we can run a tri-axle dump truck at 80,000lbs, same as a 5 axle tractor trailer. Manufactures listed maximum GCWR is what I'm limited to on ram 3500 dually. Can't exceed axle ratings. Truck empty is 10,000lbs, trailer is 8,000lbs. I can put 4000 of hitch weight on my rear axle. All these trailer companies list the trailer GVW assuming 20% of the hitch weight on the tow rig. My big tex is 24,500gvw with (2) 10,000lb axles. The other 2,450 lbs goes onto the tow rig rear axle. When the state police scale you with the portables they will look at your axle weights and with a machinery you can drive on the trailer to shift your axle weight. You have a 40,000 lb trailer with (2) 16,000lb trailer axles. 40,000-20% is 32,000. Your ram 5500 has a gvw of 19,500 and weighs 11,000. So the 8,000 of hitch weight on your rear axle will take you to 19,000. the 32,000 of trailer axle capacity less the 6,000 of trailer deck weight yields 26,000 lbs of net capacity you can haul. So your big machine at 25,000 is the limit. It's not 19,500 plus 40,000. Ram states 35,000 lbs maximum trailer tow and 43,000 max gcwr. A 40,000 lb trailer and 48,000 gcwr exceeds max for this rig. I have 6 ram 5500, 1 3500 and 10 freightliners. What governs is when the trooper opens your door and looks at the manufacturer's sticker on your door. SAE J2807 trailer weight rating. Keep up the good work and the videos, clean operation you have out there.

I hear you. If you simply add the gvwr together you are counting the tongue weight twice. Once on the truck and once on the trailer

Do your rams have a sticker on the door jamb with the max tow numbers? I’m not being a smart ass, I just bought a 22 3500 high output/max tow package and all that with a factory gcwr of 43k and the only place I could find that information is on the ram website going off the vin number. Seems to me it would make things a lot more cut and dry if it did have a sticker on it somewhere stating that. All my door sticker lists is gvwr and axle ratings of the truck

Very cool! Great choices Sam!! Those RR tracks reminded me of a buddy who failed his first CDL, shifting gears during a RR crossing!! That was an instant fail here, not just points off. That was in 1971, there was no such thing as an 'automatic' for a tractor then. I'm curious if it's the same now, I'll have to ask around. Great video, but no Boone?? 8) --gary

the culvert on your driveway, is that a double culvert? Having it wash out like that can be a sign that the culvert has rusted through somewhere along its length and it is now actively undermining the dirt out from between the two culvert as the water enters or exits the culvert. Then again, dirt doesn't like to pile straight up, so if there was something built there to keep it vertical, the bottom of that may have given way and the water goes where it wants to go, taking the dirt with it. Just a thought.

He mentioned that he's likely getting rid of one or more of his ford dually trucks now that he doesn't need 3 dually since he bought a tandem dump trucks. He also has mentioned his exhaust brake concerns in his 450 video. Being that he hauls all the time, makes sense he's considering a dodge. That 450 exhaust brake is useless in his demos compared to the little buddy ram

Bone stock dodge did ok i guess for pulling all that weight and keeping up with traffic on the Interstate. These new trucks are better though
