    How did you seal your tailgate?

    I have the BakFlip MX4 and a BedRug in the bed. I used some gasket material from Home Depot, window/door seal material and glued it to the truck at the top of the bed to close the gap at the tailgate. Works.

    Adding LED strips to factory bed lights

    My Son added some bed lights to his similar to bed light kit, installed in black covers and used a round push button red lighted switch. Came out very nice and was inexpensive. Used LEDs from Amazon.

    Poor Backup Camera Quality

    Limited or Laramie Owners with 12.1 display and “Surround View Camera.” Do you have a crystal clear backup camera view at night in total darkness? Seems Ram has an issue with low light lux on these cameras (specifically) and the view comes across as snowy! 2 Limiteds and both the same issue...

    Snow View anyone? Owners with Surround View Camera.

    The (low-light)cameras used on the trucks without Surround View work correctly and are crystal clear. Both photos taken same location moments apart different vehicles. None had any additional lighting, other than factory. Ram’s premium system has a deficiency.

    Poor Backup Camera Quality

    I made a video and photos of a 2021 & 2019 with a good Backup Camera picture quality at night, both were my son’s trucks and mine poor/snowy picture quality. Ram said they were getting reports of bad backup cameras, but didn’t know what the problem was. And they appreciated the video and photo...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My response was to cfish7722? He was looking at a 2020 Big horn or Laramie. My point was check the 2021 models, depending on dealer and location he could possibly get a better deal, on a new model. No one mentioned a diesel. And no you don’t need to see his build sheet. I bought and own a new...

    CHMSL wire tap for topper

    How do you push in a wire with the connector on it into the hole, using a sewing needle? Just seems you would damage the wire. Perhaps you just pushed in the connector first? Then put the wire into the connector? Thanks

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Where are you located? The location and dealer makes the difference in what you can buy for your money. My son just bought a 2021 Laramie loaded with pano roof, power steps and 12” display, ORP 4x4 for $48. Seems pretty good price to me. PS: A no BS deal, without dealer BS markups....

    Possibly ordering '21 1500 Laramie

    The Ram build configurator was being updated adding the 2021:model builds. Seems to be working correctly.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    If you didn’t agree on a price plus any factory rebates before ordering, then they have you exactly where they want. You want the truck you ordered, but didn’t agree on the price, so that’s that.

    RAM vs GM. My personal review of the 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie Longhorn.

    Not sure your full vehicle setup, but I have a 2019 Limited 4x4 with the Off-Road Package 20” Falken AT tires. My truck drives like a luxury sedan, and sports car with excellent handling. Was a notable difference between similar truck without ORP and 22” Goodyear tires. That vehicle seemed to...

    Ram sales drop to 3rd place for the 1st Quarter

    Just when was the Tundra body style last upgraded, 2006! Since then hasn’t been, if you bough a Tundra the first year they came out, the truck is basically the same today, with only cosmetic changes. So each year they continue to improve reliability on the same truck, after a few years, you get...
