    A little bit, less than 100 miles so far with a load, plan on putting 1300 miles on it over memorial day weekend towing a car to Iowa and another one back from South Dakota. It does well, the thing that impressed me the most is the brakes, even with the trailer brakes it just feels way more in control than my 1/2 ton ever did.

    Ordered a hitch adapter with more drop so I can get the trailer level. Also have a new mirror on it's way, just need to get the tailgate fixed and I'll be all set.

    They really did a good job on the newer rams with the brakes.They are Huge compared to the 02 and downs.I never had a problem stopping a big trailer with them.

    I put $80 in mine last week from dead E.It gave me almost 3/4 of a tank.Thought i was going to run out of fuel.Glad i made it cause i saved .27 a gallon.It was 4.49 for Diesel in Plano and 4.22 at the Walmart in oswego.
