    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Sweet! Upgraded to one of those Bluetooth springs? Let us know how the squat is.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I get you. Time is money. But hmmm? Those don’t look like Klipsch speakers? Where’s the copper woofer? The radix horn?? Almost like it’s all just a licensing play and Harman has the entire industry wrapped around its finger. But it sounds damn good nonetheless.

    Cat Back Exhaust for the 3.0L SST (SO)

    I agree the AWE seems to provide the best sound on Hurricanes. Historically they were one of the only ones capable of making an EcoBoost exhaust note bearable. Yes, everyone knows it won’t sound as good as a V8, but for those that want some character out of their Hurricane, I think AWE is...

    Long time Ram owner sold on the AMAZING F150 Powerboost

    That’s the craziest part about the eTorque setup. It has 90% of the same ingredients and therefore complexity of the PowerBoost, but with 0% of the benefits. I think the battery packs are even within Spitting distance of each other in kWh.

    Smooth drive, minimize float, 33" Tires--what leveling or suspension to choose?

    To be fair, groceries would be at or near payload for many of the upper trims. [emoji1623] I’ll see myself out.

    Bronco Order

    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.

    Need to replace my KO2s with some new tires...in Denver, CO

    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...

    Need to replace my KO2s with some new tires...in Denver, CO

    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...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    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.

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    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...

    Suspension lift 2”-3”

    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??

    *INCREASED REBATES* on '26 Orders w/ MARK DODGE

    @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...

    2026 RAM 1500 Laramie - Front-end sits higher?

    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.

    2026 RAM 1500 Laramie - Front-end sits higher?

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