    Another towing thread

    Hi there, No, that's a tow bar setup, you are looking for a hitch I believe? This is a link to the Blue Ox, the SwayPro model, the best and most effective they have; SwayPro™ Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control | Blue Ox Also, I lead you astray, I told you it had camber built into it...

    Another towing thread

    I'm a Blue Ox fan. I had a Reese 10,000 pound PRO Series hitch for a number of years, relying on the truck electronics to help control sway. But in time i looked at the Reese Sway Kit, however, the issue with that kit is having to rely on lag bolts that you drive into the tongue of the trailer...

    Axle ratio with "Trailer Tow Group"

    As noted by others above, the rear axle ratio is a separate optional item, so your only course of action is to change out the current gearing. For the rear end it isn't all that expensive-a new ring/pinion set, some bearings, gaskets, crush sleeve. But the front, that's a whole different issue...

    2025 RAM trailer camera

    The question is, do you have wiring to the top port, the Fakra type connector, or is it just a blank back? I have wiring to the 12 pin but not the Fakra port.

    Trailer 360 Cameras

    I have a wiring harness going to the back side of the 12-pin, but there's just plastic on the back side of the Fakra connector. I can empathize with your thoughts on your dealer being of no help, but fortunately, I've got a phenomenal dealer to work with, at least on the parts side. My Ram Parts...

    Trailer 360 Cameras

    I'm not too sure why all the above is lined out. I haven't seen this before.

    Trailer 360 Cameras

    Good morning mark92a, your timing is impeccable. I've been communicating with Jimmy 07 in the background about this very thing, specifically the DVRM w/Trailer Mode, as the Owner's Manual as well as at least one YouTube call it. As with you, I have the trailer camera connection point just left...

    The best bed cover?

    I'm on my 4th BAK Industries Revolver series. The pricing is reasonable, they are very watertight, with the tailgate closed it's almost impossible to breach it. And best of all the Revolver takes up absolutely no bed space.

    2025 Rear Bumper Camera Connection

    I appreciate the input but I'm still trying to get some information on the applicable cable for the FAKRA connection.

    2025 Rear Bumper Camera Connection

    I'm still trying to get the rear bumper camera connections sorted out. Here are two photos of what is there; the bottom 12-pin connection is, I would imagine, for the AUX 1 and AUX 2 inputs, and the top single FAKRA is for the Digital Rear View Mirror Tow Mode camera, by virtue of the pictogram...

    FitCamX dashcam

    Yup, thats the same email response that I got.

    FitCamX dashcam

    I had a FitCam X on my '21 10th Anniversary Longhorn, and it was great, at least for my purposes. The thing I liked the best is the way the camera itself is tucked into the rear view mirror housing. Unless you know what you're looking for, it's not really that readily visible. Unfortunately...

    Heads-Up Display

    I've noticed that the HU display on my '25 Longhorn LTD isn't displaying level on the windshield. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm going to talk to my dealer tomorrow to see if there is an adjustment for this.

    2025 Rear Bumper Camera Connection

    I realize that this is quite early in the 2025 Model Year to be sourcing camera connections, but has anybody found which cable is to be used from the camera connection-the Fakra connection not the 12-pin-for the trailer camera that is at the left of centre on the rear bumper? Any input will be...

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    Thanks very much everyone for all the feedback, and I am now coming to terms with the fact that the MFT doesn't have the Power Up feature, but I wish that Mother MOPAR would be indelibly clear about this, Yes or No. Even my dealer friend isn't sure about this, and he's reached out to the Ram...
