    I Just Spent A Week With The 2026 Ram 1500 Warlock

    "Warlock" is the proof that whoever does RAM branding peaked in middle school.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Joe's Truck Shop in Summerville (SC) did a fantastic job applying Rhino liner. I opted for the UV protection, too. $699 out of the door. Next stop - DECKED Cargo Glide.

    Paint defect (under warranty) dealers will not repair it. I want a buyback. (Update 10/9/25 Post #12)

    My dudes, never sign paperwork or accept truck delivery if you see such blemishes. That tailgate paint job should have never left the factory.

    5th Gen Clear Coat Issues

    You won't polish it out, if I think that it is what it is. There is some moisture behind clear coat creating haze. To prove the theory, heat the spot. Use a hair dryer or a heat gun on a low setting and far away from the panel. If the haze disappears, you're dealing with water vapor/moisture...

    Hard tonneau cover

    Try Diamondback covers. I love mine. Very tight, easy to install.

    Couch? Beer Fridge? I am not a moving company. If I need to move ****, I hire people. I think a ton of gear - you know what I haul - speaks a lot more about my manhood than the typical "I want to be a man Man Cave" stuff ;-)

    Mid size trucks

    I sold my Tacoma as fast as I could. If you're under 5'7", have no family, and no gear then mid-sized trucks are perfect for you. However, if you have some body mass, hobbies, and family then mid-size trucks have no point as the only trucks. I'd love a 1st generation Taco for trails and country...

    E-Bike Damage

    I hope you're okay and that no loved ones were injured in any shape or form. But how fast was that guy going? Left a tooth? I bet that hurt AF.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Ya'll, I have to come clean. For a moment, I confused my RAM with Maverick or -- I know you won't forgive this one - Ridgeline. So I bought Bakflips and the likes, bed rags, and other girly man accessories typically pushed by the influencers, bottom feeding scrotums that they are. Then I...

    Unhappy -- No internet; No owner's manual.

    This thread.... is like arguing with folks from 1980s.

    Unhappy -- No internet; No owner's manual.

    Have you ever done off-roading or overlanding or been anywhere remote? What you speak of is not a problem for a person who can think a few steps ahead. If you don't know how to put your car in 4WD or perform essential operations, going to remote places isn't for you.

    Unhappy -- No internet; No owner's manual.

    Not having a printed manual is a positive thing. If you're into wilderness, long distance travel, or frequently find yourself in a place where you need to look things up, have the manual downloaded to your smartphone or tablet. Search functionality lets you find information quickly and the...

    Realtruck.com probs; stay away!

    @Jako - thank you, you just answered my next question about covers that aren't Truck Hero associated. And yes, Line-X is most definitely rebranded, but lifetime warranty and having access to local shop helps.

    Realtruck.com probs; stay away!

    Well, I read this thread way too late. Ordered a cover from them with "rapid shipping." Did not get the order processed, let alone shipped, on-time, so I cancelled it. The order is "pending cancellation," but they money is not back in my account. Will reach out to the bank shortly. But wait...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I see, it is still not what I expected. I understand that the fabric may give a bit, but as it turned out, it is not what I want.
