    Fuel Contra -44 offset with 33x12.50 Toyo at xtreme setup

    If you got smaller rims, you can put bigger tires. My 34.1 in tires (275-65R20) on my 20” fuel contra. It only rubbed at full turning lock going over a bump when I tested it. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Fuel economy

    Just saw this and going to chime in, because there are so many variables to consider here. In my personal Situation, I don’t drive hyway at all, so my mpg are in the single digits. I’ve never bought a truck and expect gas mpg will be not so great. This is why I’m currently looking at ev trucks...

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    Jeep is so much easier to work on. With the ram...just the oil filter change drives me up a wall with that filter location. It makes me want to trade it in for a ford lighting, but I love my ramboxes. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited...

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    In the past, I would care...up until in my 30's. In my 40's I dont really care...and if they have a problem with it, they can pay for my truck note. Same thing with my charger. Its loud and fast to me. When folks wonder why I dont race it or burn outs, they are more then welcome to give me...

    Any news on AlfaObd support for 2025 RAM?

    Interesting. Bought some hardware to connect and got an obdc Bluetooth adapter to connect to the android app. Any issues with 2022 models ? Curious to know what’s the different between model years. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Aerodynamics

    Going to be completely honest….tonneau cover folks like me aren’t worried about mpg…it’s about security and covering what’s in the bed. That 1 mpg really doesn’t matter. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Ram box gap to tail gate

    Absolute genius. Thank you very much. My thought on this is not so much of completely sealing the area…I’m ok with some air circulation, it’s more of a security, so someone doesn’t take a peak inside the bed. If course, I know if someone wanted to get in, they would just cut at the top, but...

    Does Cold Air Intakes make a difference?

    It all depends on what the OP is doing. If its just for show, sure...put one in. For for performance and mpg....i would be suprised if you get even 1mpg better and 5 hp more. Keep in mind, with these cold air intake with washable filters, they let more air in and more pollutants into the...

    Ram box gap to tail gate

    Interesting that I found this thread because I thought about this and can't be the only one. Its like that with my rambox as well. Curious if the regularbed folks have that gap. Only a little bit of water enters that area so I've just left it as is. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge...

    Downside Of Buying From Distant Dealer

    Curious….did you fly down and pick it up, or drive down and back? Also…was shipping it an option? I’m just outside Philly so distance would be roughly the same to the other side of pa. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Downside Of Buying From Distant Dealer

    Been thinking about this for my next ram purchase for either ram ev or ram ramcharger. I know mark dodge in Louisiana has great pricing and would easily beat any NJ dealer in my area. But I'm going back and forth on especially on the pre purchase inspection, especially when I am not there...

    Depreciation

    Right now seems like current values have just dropped big time. My 2022 ram Big Horn Back Country, sunroof, rambox with only 15k miles is only giving me a value of around $35k max. It's just bad right now because I know a dealer would buy it that low and then turn it around and sell it for...

    A very serious question...

    Coyote is a good engine. It's better because ford tweaks that engine every 3-4 years. Ram/dodge/stellantis...hasn't touch any internals in the 5.7 since 2014 when they changed the electronic steering and gained 5 hp from the engine. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack...

    Not just the 5.7, all hemi variants are coming back...

    Thanks for the link. It's a mixed bag for me on bringing back 20 year old engines. I like going forward...not going backwards with tech and engines With that said, i will continue to preach that the issues is pricing, not what powers the trucks. Not really interested in a v8 ram bare bones that...
