    New old guy questions

    I wish my 2500 had the multi tailgate. I am getting too old to step up on the tire to reach something in the middle of the bed.

    7 pin wiring issues

    my son had a similar issue with a certain trailer and his ram laramie. rearranging a couple of wires in his trailer connector solved it. the trailer cable was the culprit. I know my '19 nor '22 laramie never caused any of my trailer lights to come on unless running lights of the truck were...

    New Uconnect Subscription Plans??

    I have a '22 ram 2500 laramie. my remote start works fine. is it supposed to stop at some point and then I will have to pay a monthly charge? I have not heard anything from Ram about that. I do know folks with other brands of vehicles that now have to pay a monthly fee for stuff like that. sucks...

    I've come here to kick some .... tires!

    toy haulers tend to be heavy. you would be able to tow the one you mentioned with a 1500 hemi. for best results you may want to stay '19 and newer with the 8hp75 8 speed. you can equip with a good set of heavier duty tires and maybe add airbags and change out the sway bar to a stiffer one. if...

    Installed Cooper Discoverer Road + Trail AT

    I put a set on my '22 laramie 2500 dsl and so far, I like em. 800 miles towing our 5th wheel they gave a smoother quieter ride than the oem transforce tires . mileage seemed to be the same at 11.6 towing mostly 68-70. I know they are more offroady than I need for towing but we use this truck...

    275/60 or 285/60

    my '19 laramie 1500 ccsb 4x4 came with the 20" falkens and they were great tires. quiet on the highway, sticky on mountain roads and good in snow. they looked new after thousands of miles many of which were towing our 600# travel trailer. It's time for new tires for my '22 laramie 2500 and if I...

    Poor gas mileage

    driving town will knock the average way down. my "19 laramie 4x4 ccsb with the 3.92 gears and the 8hp75 trans with 5.0 first gear so stop and go was no good for mileage but I always got around 20 on the highway at 75-78 usually..

    Stellantis Wanted to Keep the HEMI® V8—But Tavares Said No

    I wouldnt buy an et model and would have to figure out how to disable start/stop before I would spring for a new 1500. my '19 laramie 1500 ccsb 4x4 with 5.7 and 3.92 gears was the best truck I ever owned and I would still have it if we hadnt bought a 5th wheel trailer to tow. I want simpler not...
