Towing with a 2011 Ram 1500

How many are towing with the generation 4 ram trucks. I am looking for a CB radio mount for my 2011 Ram. Does anyone know of a nice CB radio mount?

Where you looking to mount it? Ceiling, floor, dash etc. and how big a radio? My favorite mount is a floor mount that a guy made me years ago out of a piece of aluminum on a break.

I would rather have it mounted up where I could see it. I was thinking on the dashboard.

depending on how often you use the CB, a remote mount may be an option:

I like these because the brain can be mounted somewhere out of the way, then you plug in the handheld portion when you actually want to have a CB. For most around town needs, you won't use it.

We just picked up our new Salem Cruise Lite 221 RBXL so we haven't towed much. I have the 4.7 engine and it seems like it pulls it just fine.

It should be good. Sounds like fun!
