You can not control the movement of the truck when towing. It wonders from side to side of the road. Took to dealer to have the front end checked. It checked ok. Bf goodrich installed 4 new tires at 1900 miles. Truck still road walks when towing. The only way to stop it is to apply the brakes. Otherwise, the swaying motion of the truck, will make you leave the road. I know it is not the trailer that I am towing. Reason #1: I have all the safety equipment to tow this trailer properly. Reason #2: is that I hooked the same trailer on my 2009 GMC diesel 2500 and the trailer towed perfectly. I did this on the same road, on the same day. This Dodge 2500 diesel left the road with me twice while towing the same trailer. The further you drive the truck, the worse the towing problem is. So far, Dodge can not find the problem with the Dodge 2500 diesel. This is definitely a safety problem. If you try to tow over 40 mile per hour. With my 2009 GMC diesel, I can tow this trailer at speeds up to 70 miles per hour with no problems whatsoever. If Dodge can't fix this truck, (a $50,000 truck), I feel that I should get a full refund of the purchase price. Because of right now, it is definitely a lemon. Someone is going to get killed if the problem is not corrected. The reason I bought the truck was to tow with it. Which I can not do, because it is too much of a safety risk and the other drivers on the interstate. I sincerely hope that you will check into this matter.
