    Need Help: USB #3 CarPlay on 12.1" system?

    Hi all. I'm trying to get some quick info about the USB ports in the back of the center console, and I'm hoping some of you with 12.1" systems and iPhones would be willing to check on something. My urgency here is trying to make sure this is functioning as it's supposed to, before the clock on...

    not a new member, but a new truck!

    Great questions: I'm going to plastidip my window trim - I've used a combo of vinyl and dip for the rest of the pieces, and kept the original wheels, as I want to be able to easily go back to bone stock if I feel like it. The truck came with body color bumpers, so I had it easy on that front...

    not a new member, but a new truck!

    Hi all. It's me again: that guy who bought the disaster-in-a-can grey-market-titled Canadian Sport/Rebel and then sold it back to the dealer at a loss. *sigh* ANYWAY: here is the (NOT GREY MARKET TITLED!) 2019 Limited I picked up last week. I had to drive 300 miles to find one without a...

    Gen 4 Bed Cover on your Gen 5?

    Thanks for the reply! I'm wondering about specifically the 4th gen Bakflip MX4 on a 5th gen, though. Has anyone given this specific setup a shot? Again, I've got a line on a cheap used MX4, but it's for the 4th gens, and I'm getting conflicting info on fitment. Thanks again in advance!

    #3 USB port and CarPlay

    Yup. I've (supposedly) got the purchasing dealership running this down for me - hopefully will be able to get me in to see an actual Ram/FCA dealership to get going on this. To my knowledge, the USB port in the center console lid is power only. What 1500DFW mentions is the issue I'm trying to...

    #3 USB port and CarPlay

    Hi all. Hoping for a little info from the Ram gurus among you. I just picked up a 2019 Limited, and the #3 USB port in the rear portion of the console (the one that is supposed to work with/invoke CarPlay) does not. It functions as a charge-only port (basically both rear ports function in the...

    Gen 4 Bed Cover on your Gen 5?

    Following up on this, as I am in exactly the same situation: found a local Bakflip MX4 for a 4th Gen with Ramboxes for a great price, but google is telling me that it won't fit my 2019 Ram Limited with RamBoxes... part numbers from Bakflip are different as well. Can someone confirm fit, and...

    advice needed: bail or deal w rust?

    Google answered my question re: Canadian vehicles. Did some research: my truck was indeed one with a likely "gray market" title. Just sold it back to the dealer for 90% of what I paid. Turns out the deal that was explained to me (in store credit) wasn't actually something they could do...

    advice needed: bail or deal w rust?

    Appreciate the advice: again, the "refund" is actually a store credit, though, and I'm already at the top of my price range with what I have in it (cash sale, not gonna finance). The only other Rams within that dealer's network (I can shop any of the three stores owned by the same GM), are 14k+...

    advice needed: bail or deal w rust?

    Really appreciate the replies, all. Not sure re: applying purchase toward a new vehicle - I bought this one from a Volkswagen dealer, but they are tied into the local Lithia branch, so...? I'll do some looking, though! I am planning to keep this truck (or whatever one I end up with) for a long...

    advice needed: bail or deal w rust?

    Hi all. So, I made a hasty purchase with my 19 Ram out of Canada: (bought it dirty, knew it had some paint damage but turns out it's got extensive paint damage on front edge of the bed, the front and rear bumpers). So, I purchased supplies to touch up/spray the affected areas and get them back...

    2mm offset on 275/60R20?

    Hi everyone. Newbie question alert. I’m trying to wrap my head around offset numbers, and ran across some 20” Fuel wheels, 2mm offset, with 275/60R20 AT tires that have me thinking about buying them. I’m trying to find a 33” total package that sticks out about 1” from the stock setup. Would...

    Oregonian w/Canadian Sport-"Rebel"

    Hi all. Switched over from a Sequoia to a 2019 Ram 1500. Fun weird thing about this truck: the build sheet/window sticker shows the truck was built for the Canadian market, but is listed as a "Ram 1500 SPORT/REBEL CREW CAB 4X4." Weird, right? It's definitely NOT a Rebel, as far as I can tell...
