    How big have you towed? w/Pics no tricks!

    29 Foot super slide 33’ tip to tail. 6000# dry loaded to close to 7500# in these photos. Maxed on cargo I both photos. Equalizer 4 point hitch made a towing very comfortable but it wasn’t set properly and I didn’t bring tools to adjust it. In the second pic I was able to reposition weight to...

    Input On 2019 Used 5th Gen.

    Previous posters are right to be suspicious/cautious, but sometimes dealers just want to move cars. Don’t talk yourself out of a good deal. Do you homework upfront and if it checks out then buy it. Just be willing to live with the choice and accept the potential risk. This coming from a guy...

    Camper to big?

    Ah that sucks sorry to hear that. Sneaking in that much money at signing is pretty s%itty

    Camper to big?

    I just towed an Avenger 26BH (29ft total length) loaded to ~6500lbs and at near max payload on my 1500 Rebel 3.92. Wasn't a long trip, about 50 miles of interstate and 25 miles of country roads, WDH but no sway control. The powertrain handled the weight with ease, but honestly I wouldn't go...

    Towing Questions

    Sorry I cannot provide a direct answer to your question but I can tell you that any of the Hemi V8 gas models (provided you don't exceed the max payload) will handle your trailer just fine. I have no experience with the diesel but I have to imagine it would be more than enough truck. For your...

    What’s with salespeople these days?

    Car salesmen are people just like any other profession. Some are good some are bad. They're all taught how to aggressively pick fruit but the good ones learn how to plant seeds that they can harvest later. All we can do is find the good ones and share them on a community like this one.

    Low Hum slowing down

    When looking for my truck I test drove a 2019 Rebel that had 20k miles on it and it had that same issue and it was pretty bad. The dealer tried to convince me it was the tires (which did contribute slightly) but it sounded to be like either a wheel balance issue or a worn/warped rotor. I now...

    Should I wait for ram truck month?

    I walked out over $1000 and the dealer called me on my cell as soon as I started my car to leave. He accepted my last offer before I walked out...But to the OP's original question, I think the best deals this year were in June. I started looking in July and spent the next 5 months waiting for...

    [Video] Help identifying this noise?

    2019 1500 Rebel 5.7L V8 - Purchased CPO from a dealer 2 weeks ago and I get this noise upon startup. Almost sounds like some kind of alarm coming from behind the dash. I generally use the remote start but it seems to occur everytime I start the ignition from inside the vehicle (without using...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Not entirely relevant since I bought it CPO, but after 4+ months waiting for the June rebates to return I decided to pull the trigger on the truck I wanted at a price I could afford. Did I get the best deal, certainly not, but it was a truck I loved at a price I could afford. I'm over worrying...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm seeing Employee pricing for all nationally on 2019s. I'm not sure how much the manufacturer's promotions matter much on 2019s at this point. The dealers that I have been working with have gotten pretty agressive on pricing on 2019s in the last month. 20-25% off MSRP should be attainable...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm holding out the same hope. Looking to get off the sidelines in the coming weeks but every time I look up its the middle of the month and I think "might as well wait a couple weeks to see what incentives come out" lol. I need to just buy my truck and then never look at prices again.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Thats a nice outcome. Congrats. I spoke to a dealer last weekend who offered me a new truck MSRP $52K for $42K. I didn't bother countering and told him that wasn't quite good enough. He looked around to make sure no one was listening and said basically "I know what you're looking for, I'll...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Been following this thread waiting patiently for the right deal on a '19 Bighorn Crew 4x4. Level 2 Equipment is a must, everything else is frosting. I'm paying cash/certified check with no trade in. This is just a leisure vehicle so timing of the purchase makes no difference to me. I can buy...

    Can you share the dealer where you scored this awesome deal?
