    Does this work?

    Makes sense. It just was irritating me, because everyone would say, get your truck and trailer weighed (Seperately, together, etc..). And I'd like to make sure I'm in the ballpark prior to buying the trailer. :)

    Does this work?

    Got it. Makes sense.. I was just misunderstanding the GVWR listed for the truck. I thought it was.. This is the max GVWR your trailer can be to tow with this truck. But it's actually referencing the truck. Thanks guys

    Does this work?

    Ok, I might have figured it out. Is 7100lbs for the truck, the maximum that the truck can weigh? (Not, the maximum it can tow?) So therefore, you don't compare the 7100lbs the truck states and compare it to the trailer GVWR of 8,250, see that it's 1150 over and determine you can't tow it...

    Does this work?

    Sorry, I'm not getting what you are saying. I've watched a ton of videos, read a ton of articles, however, I'm missing out on some basic definition or something. I'm getting hung up on the truck having a GVWR of 7100 lbs. Yet, being able to tow 11500. If GVWR is 7100 lbs for the truck...

    Does this work?

    Hello, I have a 22 1500 Rebel GT, and I believe my towing amounts are GVWR of 7100, and total towing is 11,500. I’m considering buying a camping RV and would like to keep it within ratings to avoid any issues with insurance. The RV I’m considering is rated at - 29' - 7" LENGTH 11' - 2"...

    GT package experience

    I have a 2022 Rebel GT. The exhaust is perfect IMO. It's there on startup and major acceleration. Very low in cab for regular driving, again until I stomp on it to move up and around traffic, which I like. When etorque starts up again, it get's a quick puff of a growl and then settles in...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Looks great. Mind saying what you paid for the ceramic tint. Do you know which brand it was?

    Well, it’s broken:(

    You didn’t do anything wrong. I suspect that there was a hairline crack in the casting or bolts were over torqued causing crack and this was the first time it was under load. Consider yourself lucky you weren’t in the sticks when you tried it. Fortunately it should be a quick swap not...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    She has a Cricut, but for this she didn't use it. She has a printer that you print on special paper, and then you can use a heat press (like an iron) and it melts the ink into the fabric. So she bought the foam/fabric coasters and then printed some things on them as a surprise for me...

    OPT7 Sidekick Running Board Lights

    I'm looking to add lights to my steps/rails, and thinking about getting the OPT7 Sidekick Running Board Lights. Has anyone installed these on a 5th Gen? If so, where did you connect to the various wires? The instructions are looking to tap off these points - 1. Red to 12v Parking Lights...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    My wife made cup holder coasters for me. I think the next batch, we are going to change the white to silver/black so it doesn't show the coffee stains as easily. She bought the coasters, then dye sublimation printed them and used a heat press to transfer the image.

    How do you like the Bed Step?

    Same here. Got it on my 2022 Rebel GT with MFT. It's surprisingly strong, definitely worth it.

    Tailgate light bar

    I’m looking at the opt7 redline 60”. However, they say if you have blindspot monitoring (blis), you need to hardwire to tail light instead of trailer, as the vehicle automatically turns off blis, backup cameras, etc.. Can anyone confirm this for 2022 ram With ASG and similar? Anyone run into...

    Reposition Silver Bed Rails

    So I installed the Armorflex today and found out that the silver rails stay in place. No need to mod it up.

    Reposition Silver Bed Rails

    Has anyone repositioned the silver bed tie down rails when adding a Tonneau? I have a 22 Rebel GT with Rambox & MFT. I just ordered the Undercover Armor Flex. In my understanding, I’m going to have to remove the silver tie down rails. I liked the functionality, so I’m thinking of picking up...
