    Alpine speakers

    Thanks guys. That makes me feel better that I don’t have to spend thousands to get better sound. I’ll probably spend more on the DSP and Amp now that I don’t need $900/pair speakers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    For the Alpines in the 9 speaker system? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alpine speakers

    Yes, I’m aware that the whole system creates the whole sound. For many years I’ve really been into home audio/video so I understand all of that, but I haven’t been into car audio since my high school years. I tend to overspend on stuff I don’t know much about, but I don’t want to overkill...

    Alpine speakers

    For the 9 speaker Alpine system in the Laramie, does anyone know if those speakers can be purchased at Best Buy or some other similar place? I liked the sound and I’m trying to figure out how much they would cost if sold at a place like Best Buy. Are they $50/pair speakers, or $500/pair...

    We should probably end this specific discussion here since it’s a little off topic, so if you want to chat more go ahead and start a new thread on towing questions. I saw your payload was around 1,391 or something, which is 300lbs less than mine, and that’s what was causing me my main issues...

    I think you’re most likely going to run into payload issues with a 7k dry camper. My camper was 5800 dry, 7000 loaded, and I still felt I needed to go to a 3/4 ton. If you only tow to local parks, etc, you may be fine, but long distances or mountains are going to be an issue. Sent from my...

    The 3.92 gives you a higher trailer tow rating, but everyone had told me that it does nothing for the payload capacity. I was good with everything except payload. Btw, my truck had the 3.21 axle ratio. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Payload sticker showed 1,667. I had the Laramie package with leather trimmed seats, level 1 equipment group, rear under seat storage, Hemi and 20” wheels. Sticker was $52,995. After purchase, I added front end lift, undercover flex tonneau cover, spray in bedliner, undercoating, rustproofing...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I sold my 2 month old 2019 1500 Crew Cab Laramie yesterday. After I bought that truck, I decided I wanted a camper, and all the ones I wanted were pushing the truck to it’s limits on payload. As painful as it was to trade a 2 month old truck, I pulled the trigger yesterday. If the 2019 3/4...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    What’s crazy is when I bought my 2019 Laramie 1500 2 months ago, I got a $11,500 discount. The most discount I can get on a 2018 2500 is $10k. I was expecting more than that just because it’s over a year old already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    How soon after the 1500’s were released did the big rebates come? I’m trying to decide if I want to wait for the 2019 2500’s to come out or buy a 2018 with $10k discount now. I need the big discounts since I’ll be trading in a 2019 1500 that I bought 2 months ago. Sent from my iPhone using...

    New 2018 2500 now, or wait for 2019

    My local dealer is offering a 10k discount on a 2018 2500 Laramie 4wd. Can I get as good of a discount in a 2019 right when they come out? Seems like the 2019 1500’s were discounted by that or more when they came out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
