Especially while not towing anything. I think they could take out pedestrians on the curb with those things.
Sorry Ram guys, but if not towing fold'em up!
I took a contract job mowing pipeline right of ways, they furnished the Kubota w/ the brush hog towed w/ a F350 SRW Ford 4x4 w/ the V10, that thing would pass everything on the highway except a gas station, if you saw a station you better stop & fill up as you may not make it to the next one. At 60-65 mph that thing got, on the flats, about 6 mpg, less if there were any hills, w/ a 26 gallon tank I spent a good bit of everyday looking for a gas station. They had a F350 dually but didn't want me to use it cause diesel cost about .40 more per gallon, DUH!
Well run all the time with the mirrors on our 2016 Ram 3500 DRW “Bullwinkled” all the time two reasons, first they line up better with the fenders, second the bullseye mirrors are then horizontal giving a better field of view.
