    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    Yep so much time I couldn't even get on here yesterday to respond to you, oh the horror of not getting onto the forums every single day.:eek: I would keep responding but honestly didn't make it past the first line this time, and I see you've found others to play with in my absence (that's the...

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    I don't know, I don't have all damn day to ponder such things. Tell me your thoughts. Nope I don't, I know it does a good enough job because I've been using the same wash for all of my trucks and they are all rust free and easy to work on underneath whenever needed. Proof is in the pudding...

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    That doesn't really answer my question of visibly seeing what I am spraying off, I'm not just going to spray under there and assume I got everything I needed to. That's great if that's what you want to do, doesn't work for me. Felt like acting like a child too? Yeah I was the first one to do...

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    Ok, so what's the secret, or are you guarding it for some reason? Enlighten us all with your worldly ways! Show me how I can completely clean the underside of my truck while being able to visibly see what I am cleaning, without getting down on the ground to do so. And point out to me where I...

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    What do you mean by useful truck? Lifted? That's the only way it would make it any easier to spray underneath. My truck is stock and I'm not short enough or limber enough to effectively spray under it. That would leave me with spraying from the ground (flailing as you say) so I could effectively...

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    Haha those do a better job at getting the undercarriage? How, by me getting down on the ground to spray under there? Or just aiming and hoping I'm spraying everything off? What I know for sure is that the car wash I go to does a good enough job that after 4 winters you can easily do work...

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    Haha oh yeah sorry I totally missed your solution that is practical to everyone since all of our situations are about the same. Alright everyone, cancel your car wash memberships and get your home wash setups ready!

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    Ok, but damage to what extent? We all have our standards and what we are willing to do to maintain them, but if it's not effecting the value of my vehicle or how it looks, then I don't care and I'll take the rust free truck and convenience. I had a winter beater once when I was 17, that was...

    Will car wash damage my 2020 ram 1500?

    When these threads pop up I never know how long exactly it's supposed to take for car washes to ruin your paint? Admittedly my trucks are usually 3-4 years old when I get rid of them, but they are run through the car wash at least once a week (providing it's over 20 degrees) during my ownership...

    Lets See Your BackCountry Trim Trucks!!

    I feel like I asked someone this before but don't remember the answer. For wranglers, when you take the doors off I assume that automatically defeats that system from slamming it into park? Or is there something you need to do in one of the menus like a "no door mode" or something?

    Lets See Your BackCountry Trim Trucks!!

    Yeah same with my 21, no horn honks under those circumstances (or ever) and am glad it doesn't. That will definitely be one thing I am not looking forward to when the time comes for the next truck, that's going to be annoying for the way we use it. From what I know (or thought I knew) this is...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Agreed GMs looks better but rams is more practical/useful for most people I'm assuming. People also aren't mentioning that if you want to fully transform your GM tailgate it's going to take 10-20 seconds, where I can use the MFT in either position very quickly and with only one press. I've seen...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    If we are referring to the same features, the longhorn/limited (probably laramie as well?) did actually lose power fold and 360 degree camera abilities with the tow mirrors for 2019/2020. That finally changed in 2021 but it's funny how they got that timing exactly wrong for how to offer the tow...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    It's also funny they started removing them from the package (and I agree probably for the reason you mentioned) once the mirrors actually became available with the features it was previously missing/would exclude you from. I'm not sure if that's on all trim levels but I know for the...

    What are the odds!!

    Why would they replace the back window due to something popping off from a loop on the back seat? I wouldn't want them tearing apart my truck unless in was necessary. If you search the forums you'll see you are far from the first person this has happened too, the solution has always been to...
