@Jrex Thanks for posting your first impressions. Congrats and enjoy your new truck! Driving through my neighborhood today, I saw a TRX parked in one of the driveways, I couldn’t believe it, lol. When the weather gets a little warmer here in Michigan I will try to get a closer look at the beast.

He was waiting for it.....LOL Not another “these issues should not exist for a $$ truck” post. You do realize that people buy very expensive luxury vehicles that are plagued with problems right? As @SD Rebel mentioned other truck brands have issues as well, just visit their forums. I had a...

I would not buy a Ram without the 12” screen. Items that are considered upgrades when buying a vehicle are called upgrades for a reason and you have to pay extra for these nicer things.... The main thing when getting a truck with the 12” screen, you must get familiar with its controls as it can...

Agreed, I got the tires that come with the night package and I’m super happy with how they perform in the snow and they look good too. I only change tires when its needed, lol.

No I dont, one of the brackets comes with the motor as one piece and in my case both were broken and useless, unless I welded them back together. Even then I would still be missing the pins that hold the bracket together.... I do have an extra board however, and that I will sell on craigslist...

Thanks @billhansen! I ended up changing the whole left side assembly. I needed both hinges and that came to about $500, the one with the motor is roughly around $320 discounted. The whole board assembly was $636 including tax in michigan. The install was super easy, took my mechanic about 5 minutes.

I don’t understand why what you would or would not buy is relevant to this thread. If you want to get a Big Horn, just get it and enjoy it brother. Personally I would never get a BH and I love the power running boards. That’s why there’s different trims/options. Not sure I’m following you. Was...

Thanks Buz! I saw your post above and called a local welder who told me that welding cast aluminum won’t hold after a while and that I’m better off replacing the brackets. He didn’t sound like he wanted to deal with welding aluminum....oh well. The full driver side assembly arrived at my dealer...

I wish I would have seen your post as same thing happened to me. I was reading another thread and this poster said that he leaves his boards deployed thru the car wash. So as I entered the wash and I deployed them. The rest is history.....very embarrassing to say the least plus it will cost me...

Nice! I got my Ram prior to signing up for this board and I had 0 worries about anything. I expect a new vehicle to work properly until it doesn’t. The mentality here is, I wont buy the vehicle because something might go wrong, lol. The car is under warranty, if there’s a legitimate issue the...

I have had 0 issues with mine. If you want to listen to a few posters that have issues but not the hundreds of thousands than don’t, that’s up to you. Coming to a Ram forum saying you will buy a ford it’s just silly. Quite a few posters in this forum have come from ford by the way and they’re...

Bro, I don't say this a lot but damn, that's a badass truck.....

Sometimes the obvious questions are the toughest ones to answer, lol. This thread seems to be a ProClip ad. I love the iphone craddle that is in this truck and with the wireless CarPlay dongle, I dont even wanna or have to see my phone. My take is the power of habit that is making all these...

The ACC system will not stop for any stationary vehicles, it will crash right into them as if they weren’t there. Yeah, not a nice visual, lol. These type of systems along with semi autonomous ones (not sure about fully autonomous systems as found in Tesla and GMs Super Cruise, but I think they...

Due to an unfortunate event earlier today, I lost the driver side power running board on my Ram, both brackets snapped off. The board itself is intact and I would need the mounting brackets + pins only (set of 2). Is there a way to purchase just the brackets and the pins or do I need to purchase...
