    Aftermarket power running boards?

    Could look at the Rough Country boards, too. Much less expensive.

    Did I get ripped off? Dealership up-charged?

    As to the OP... Differential fluid was not due yet. Takes 5 or 6 quarts at $15 each to do front and rear and is easier than engine oil to change. You did get ripped off there, but it is done so... Brake fluid is more about time than mileage. Not bad to get it done every 3 or 4 years. But...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My Aug 2020 build Laramie was $55,100 MSRP. Last I checked was May, but MSRP on that same build was over $68k. 26% increase in 33 months.

    New CAFE Standards Published Today (LOL)

    They will be rescinded, just like the appliance regs. Because NCSWIC.

    Not nowadays.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Pre covid last year's model BH could be had 30% off around Christmas. So 2019 MY would be 30% off Dec 2019 (similar in prior years, too). Now there are limited discounts and prices have skyrocketed.

    Considering a Ram 1500, but concerned about reliability... New to 5GenRam

    Same. 2020 Laramie moderately optioned. Sticker was $55k built Aug 2020 and (last I checked two months ago) would be $68k. Insane. And now they have taken away fender flares. Can get a High Country for that.

    Differential & Transfer Case service at 50k miles??

    I plan to change the rear differential fluid myself this summer with Valvoline synthetic. It is easier than changing the oil. Right now at 33k miles and put on about 1k per month. I don't even think I used 4x4 once last winter, and maybe 3 or 4 times since having the truck (less than 1 hour...

    If not a Ram, then what?

    I would look hard at GM once the new v8 is released (probably 2025). RAM has always been the brand where you get more per MSRP and rebates were great. Now my mildly optioned Laramie is over $68k in a 2023. 26% increase since Aug 2020 build. Insane. That is the same MSRP as a better-optioned...

    Exploding panoramic sunroof

    Where are you located? Did you have it tinted (and if so, what kind, specifically heat rejection percent)?

    It would be something if the US were energy independent. You know, like 2.5 years ago.

    Windshield wiper replacement?

    I like the OEM ones over others I have tried.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    RAM has always had huge discounts and lower MSRP. For many years one could get 30% off a BH and 20% off Laramie ar least a few times a year. Now their MSRPs are higher than GM and quickly approaching Ford. I just priced out my moderately equipped Laramie (see sig), it is over $68k, up $13k...
