My new 2014 Ram 2500 tow rig

Recommended Posts

While I was home I traded in the 1500 on a new 2500 Cummins, was towing more than I ever have and I plan on towing the ZJ to trails. Truck came with the blackout package that included projector headlights, blacked out tail lights, black badging and upgraded rims. Have to admit I love the new 8.4 inch monitor over the 5 inch monitor I had in the 2012, even easier to hook up the trailers and the guide lines bend and show where your tires will go as you turn the wheel. So far averaging 15.9 mpg even with towing half the mileage I have put on (had a trailer hooked up in under 24 hours) and "testing" performance with Bill, was only getting 12.3 mpg with the HEMI. Truck sits the same height as the old one did with a 6" lift, and got the skid plate package as part of my deal. Had Universal install a bed liner, great price and a family owned company with a lifetime guarantee. Had to get steps on to make getting in and out easier, got the N-Fab steps that also have the step for bed access.

Possible name, leading towards horse names since it will be towing the "War Wagon". What else do you guys have??

 

Black Jack - Probably the best known horse named Black Jack was a black gelding of unknown breeding that served in the United States military as a caparisoned (riderless) horse for formal occasions such as funerals. Born in 1947, Black Jack was used in the funeral procession of President John F. Kennedy after he was assassinated in 1963. He also took part in the funerals of Presidents Herbert Hoover and Lyndon Johnson, as well as Five-Star General Douglas MacArthur and countless other funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. In addition, Black Jack has the distinction of being the last horse issued to the United States military and is the last horse to carry the "U S" brand. Black Jack lived to be 29 years old. After he was cremated his ashes were interred at Summerall Field in Ft. Myer, Virginia. His grave has a lovely headstone and is surrounded by an attractive hedge.

It would be insinuating that he is taking you to your grave. ;)
