For $30K for the truck new, you would think they would say something like - if you are towing, you should not get the 20" wheels. Terrible towing power with these. I picked up 17" wheels and use them in the summer when I tow a boat. Much better. And now when I sell the truck - I can part out all the other accessories Dodge didn't include like 17" wheels, towing mirrors, etc. Cause the rest of the truck isn't worth much. I may get more parting it out. A shame really- the truck itself looks like new still and when it is working properly on all fronts (which is rare) its actually quite nice. But, I'm going to have it crushed and buy a toyota, as a service to the world. It doesn't really deserve another owner.
