    Potential First Time Ram Owner Debating on Trim Levels

    I bought a used 2019 in 2020 and its been a great truck. The only issue I've had was the rear window being replaced due to leaking, but it didn't cost me anything but the time to drive it to the dealership. No hassle from the dealership either. Its comfy as hell to drive and I still think...

    If not a Ram, then what?

    I would consider a F150 again. I really enjoyed that truck until it was damaged in a collision and was never the same after. The 3.5L Ecoboost for towing is just a beast.....I love how the RPMs stay low and has a ton of power. The Powerboost would be an attractive option for camping, and...

    What options are a must and what are a waste?

    For me, 3.92 gears, the larger fuel tank and air suspension were a must for towing the trailer.

    12" Screen Protector - the OCDplug

    Excellent! No complaints whatsoever.

    Former F-150 owners: what do you miss?

    I have to say I loved the way my 3.5 Ecoboost towed. That low end torque is amazing on those engines and it was nice not having to rev higher to get that torque out of the engine like you do for the Hemi. The 'Sport Mode' was a hell of a lot of fun on that truck too!

    Dealer Issues.

    I don't have anything to offer you in the way of advice, but I just wanted to say that is an awful story. Please share the name so that no one does business with them. That is shady as hell, and I do think you should be headed to the dealer, make them cut you a cheque and be done with them...

    Fully electric Ram 1500 in 2024

    I have to say I really struggle with this whole movement to ban gas powered light trucks/cars by a certain year. I realize you can't stop progress, but an electric truck will not have the range or the towing capacity that a gasoline engine provides. I feel that it will be really hard to tow a...

    Gas Mileage after first 1160 miles of driving truck... Sucks!

    Geezus, I get 11.5 mpg hauling my 29' holiday trailer.....10.5mpg seems pretty low. When I'm not hauling, I'm around 18 or 19mpg around the city. I would say I only drive it hard when I need to, and try to drive it with the ECO light on. I try to run 92 octane in it....I will burn 94 when I'm...

    Help

    It might be worth your time to take your truck and trailer to an RV dealership to have them properly set up your WDH for you. When I purchased my Equalizer, the store had me come there with the truck and they installed it onto the trailer, and then the tech spent more time fine tuning...

    Dead Battery

    Defending a lousy battery would not be a hill I would choose to die on....:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Dead Battery

    Yep I would absolutely get a second opinion, or swap it out for a new one. My battery crapped out on me as well and the dealer did find it faulty and swapped it out on warranty. I wouldn't want to have that worry in the back of my head while I'm trying to enjoy a vacation. Happy travels!

    Help me decide: 5'7" or 6'4" bed

    Since we were asked for our 2 cents, here is mine. I had a 6'4" in my previous truck (F150 Lariat). Yeah I could fit more in it. I never liked the way it looked though....felt long and cumbersome and it certainly parked that way. Did not enjoy having to park it in tight spots. I knew right...

    Chrome window trim part number

    Hi all, I've been doing some searching online and I can't seem to find the part number for the chrome window trim for a 2019 Limited. I have a small dent in the passenger side window trim (the one on the bottom of the passenger window), and I was just looking to replace it. I had the truck in...
