Granger Ford in Iowa is said to be just as easy to work with, and while the discounts for Fords aren’t as good as Rams in general, again Granger seems to have among the better ones. No surprise that their Ram store also gets kudos around here sometimes.

Those are my next tire. Though I’m extremely happy with my current Bridgestone Revo3’s. Fantastic road manners, lights LT’s, the best A/T I’ve had in my many Colorado Winters, and they are wearing like iron, so new tires will be due to a new truck and not wear. Bridgestone makes superb stuff...

A Tire Rack test recently published indicated that there is a major difference on snow/ice traction between the p-metric Wildpeaks and the Load Range E and F versions, noting the former was among worst in test. Contrast that with the passenger tire version being among the best you can get in a...

I hear you guys on having a toy with the V8 That was an option - keep the EcoBoost truck and scoop up a pony car or V8 Vantage, then I could get a 3rd pedal as well. Went back and forth, that was a tougher decision than Hemi vs Hurricane for me.

I don’t think it’s really all that complicated: The Hurricane is a rational choice. The Hemi is the emotional one. Reliability is just speculation, and repairability is more important to me - on that they both trade drawbacks and come out even. However for 26 the warranty goes some way to...

To be fair, driving a truck with a single passenger and a nearly empty bed on the daily (which I do many days, to be clear) is extremely silly, so once we’ve crossed into the realm of silly, why not??

@AnthonyRI, I am trying to send in an order to you but having trouble with getting the PDF to export form the online builder. The "Download PDF" widget just thinks and thinks, nothing happens over any amount of time. Tried all different browsers, settings, incognito, etc. Anyone else having...

If you have a button under your transmission dial reading “Axle Lock” also then you have the Off Road Group package, which increases ride height front and rear by 1” and is probably what you are perceiving.

Congrats on new truck! Do you have a sticker on the rear of the bed that reads “4x4 Off-Road”?

Suspension, my friend. The Baja super trucks are all neutered when it comes to towing. I believe the RHO is even rated to tow a couple hundred more pounds than the Raptor. In Limited trim the HO is rated closer to 10k, but even then that number is payload limited. Besides, Pulling power...

Do not seal those gaps; that is a recipe for rust, if those fenders are steel, which I believe they are. Might be able to stick some 3M double sided tape in there and suck it in a little. But I’d say looks about on par for domestic truck fit and finish.

I just can’t seem to find harmony with Ram’s option package logic. I want a nicer trimmed truck but with as little tech/screens as possible. No sunroof, no passenger screen, would prefer the 8.4” screen to the 12” which I’d prefer to the 14”. Also want the HEMI or HO Hurricane and a 6’4”...

Yes, always parked outside, I shoulda mentioned initially. It’s why I tried it, the plastics were getting pretty faded.

It is a good bit shiny but not at all greasy once it dries. It’s more like an enamel. I prepped all surfaces with rubbing alcohol first.
