It’s Bridgestone… or nothing! Seriously, love my Revo3’s and it seems the new Ascent AT is even better. The only other consideration I have is for the Firestone Destination AT. So still Bridgestone technically. I’m a lightweight tire junkie.

Your truck must be quite the sight in Italy! I bet you never see another one on the road. That would be fun.

Cool. Mine is 5600. Don’t think either of ours is a loaded limited longbed diesel?

FYI your rams curb weight is far closer to 6k lbs than 5k. Check driver door jamb. Subtract the Cargo Carrying Capacity (yellow placard) from the GVWR (white placard) and you have the curb weight BEFORE you or the dealer added anything. Just in case that factors into your decision. I know...

Pretty sure the elite just have everything delivered and setup or installed for them.

Respectfully, no. The number on the tire is the max load carrying rating of the tire itself - which typically far exceeds a half ton truck’s capacity, especially if you are not running a passenger tire (LT or E load range). These pressures would be tooth-rattling overkill. The yellow sticker...

Not watching due to the title. Appears to be AI slop. No manufacturer is giving anyone a software-defined vehicle that provides a setting which using will destroy said vehicle. They don’t even let you check your own oil for crying out loud.

I tried watching the halftime show but my TV seemed to glitch out right then and get stuck on SAP. Fortunately seemed to fix itself by the time the 2nd half started. A shame, because looked like the people on set were having fun. Was hoping to learn why the main guy was wearing his dad’s suit...

And just because they’ve existed for a long time doesn’t change facts that they’re unnecessary on modern production engines. Cold air intakes have been around a long time too. Once upon a time, and for some applications, they made a difference. Today there are “good” CAI’s available that...

Ford added port injection to the gen2 ecoboost for efficiency, not for valve coking prevention. The DI-only Gen1 ecoboosts never actually ended up having a coke problem in the long run at all. But when gen2 ecos introduced dual injection people just assumed it would also help with coking. We...

Cannot endorse the Goodyear DuraTracs. They were absolute monsters in the powdery deep stuff - best I’ve ever run. But on ice and snowpack - which is 90% of what people drive on - they were like greasy rocks.

Catch cans just solve the problems they create. Well, at least the good ones do. The bad ones only create problems. A proper pcv system keeps this stuff in gaseous form.

Ah, the ol’ Brag & Bail.

And more pics please! On the fence about either the Night Edition or Sport package to go on my Canyon Lake. I’ve not seen any Laramie Sports in CL. Congrats! She’s a beaut Clark.

You’d be fine with the Pentastar V6, so any uplevel engine will just be that much better. Towing with a turbocharged engine is a revelation; the Hurricane would make the task effortless.
