I watched several UTube videos of new RAMs towing 30k goosenecks and before the commentators we're done they admitted the RAMs got squirrelly at highway speeds. Those trucks badly need 19.5" tires.

What kind of fuel mileage you get with the 4:10 rear axel.

There IS a difference between towing and carrying. Yea, a properly equipped Ram can TOW up to 33,000 pounds. Just dont expect it to carry 6600 pounds worth of pin weight.
