I'm looking at getting a 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel (currently have a highly modified 7.3 Excursion 4x4, lifted, ARB lockers, on board air, RCVs, Dana 60 front, etc and keeping it). Looking at getting a Boreas EOS 12 (3200 lb dry approx with GVWR close to 5200 lbs).
Moving to WY and getting older and want the creature conforts of the new Ram, IFS, mpgs etc. Given WY winters, a Rebel with the BW 48-11/ 4WD Auto option is appealing over switching in and out of 4H driving the roads of winter. Clearly the BW 48-12 (no 4W Auto) is better off road.
Saw a couple of Youtube vids where the 4W Auto transfer cases overheated (not doing anything extreme).
My question for any of you that have 1500 Rebels with the 4W Auto transfer case and that pull smaller true off road trailers (patriot, boreas, mdc, etc), do you ever experience transfercase overheating while towing off road in 4H or 4L?
Last thing I want is to get a new Rebel and EOS 12 and find myself with an overheating Tcase while offroading (mild to moderate trails) pulling the EOS 12 in 4H or 4L.
Thanks in advance for any input.
