Step 5: Remove the Switch Panel at the bottom of the console. This is where you are going to put your sexy new trailer brake switch, but you need to free it from the confines of blankness in which it currently dwells. Step 6: Remove the Blank Button. This was not easy for me, mine was super...

Hello Forum, So, I called around to several Houston area dealerships and kept getting quoted ~$700 for the purchase and install of a factory trailer brake controller. This seemed outrageous to me, and so I set out to find information about what all was involved in this installation. In the...

Well, the only reason that I care is that I am really into numbers and I like keeping track of things like cost of ownership of my vehicles and long term fuel economy. I suppose I could make a case that if I noticed the fuel economy drop off significantly from where it is presently that it could...

Welcome to the forum. I am a diy guy myself so I know what you mean. Lots of knowledge here, and bound to be more anytime goes on. I am also a first time ram owner, and I am pleased as punch. Again, welcome to the nuthouse.

This story is so sad. Buying a new vehicle is supposed to be fun, rewarding, and exciting...not a pile of crap. I wish I had a way to help you out, but I dont know anything about crummy dealers and lemon laws and stuff. There is a lot of good advice on here. I really hope you get this all sorted...

Yeah, those look a ton better than my OEM steps. I am looking to pull mine off and modding the bracket to relocate them closer to the body of my truck.

Thanks to all of you for making me feel a ton better about my truck! Not that I felt bad at all about it...it is a truck after all so that is good. I was just watching the MPG and noticing that I am getting about 14.9 MPG on the first tank of gas since buying my 4x4 Rebel. It would appear that...

Unless you have the 12" screen and then it is closer to $200 because the switch part is much more expensive.

Lol, yeah they tried to sell me on all those. I got them to knock 1000 off of those. You are right, they didnt want to budge on them. But with the savings I got, plus 1k over kbb on my trade and the 1000 off dealer add ons I still feel pretty good.

Yeah, I got the outside of it sprayed. I had one in the past and had it pick up some scratches and dents from...the same thing the bed picks up scratches and dents from. Coolers being set on it, me walking on it to clean the roof of the truck, ya know. Anyway, I figured it couldnt hurt, and I...

The Mopar one looks exactly like the BakFlip MX4 to me. I paid $700 installed with bedliner sprayed on the panels of my BakFlip MX4, maybe the Mopar one is something else, just going off of appearance. I also know that individual mileage may vary and prices arent the same everywhere. I also hope...

Hey, I just bought mine on the 1st of July for 23k under MSRP from Bayshore Ram in...uhhh east Houston...google it and you will find it. I dealt with the internet sales manager before ever heading out there and it was really a seamless process. Got there at 5:30 PM after leaving work, drove my...

I owned a 2014 GMC Sierra Black Widow (built on a SLT 6.2L trim). It was ok, but the fit and finish of the parts were not superb for what they charge. You get some steps that were Raptor brand I believe, some 20" or 22" wheels, a 6" lift, some spiders stitched in the headrests, and a bull bar...

Yeah, I would be upset had I not gotten $23k off of MSRP on my truck...I actually ran KBB and I bought it new for under KBB trade in value with 10k miles. Soooooo, I suppose I can pay a few bucks for a trailer brake controller :D

I have the 12" screen. I love the 12" screen in my truck. My wife has a Wrangler with the 8.4" screen ( I believe that it is the same one as in the Ram trucks). The 8.4 seems a little bit faster and more responsive than the 12", but that could be down to software in the Ram. I really like the...

Yeah, but I am reading that it is not actually compatible with the 2019 Ram and I need some kind of bypass to make it work. There just does not seem to be enough information out there regarding this for me. I wish there was...I would like to have the ability to add other mods/upgrades to my...

Also in Houston and being quoted outrageous sums of money for trailer brake controllers. Probably going to wind up installing myself and paying the $150 for the flash though. Best quote I have gotten around here for a install at dealer is just north of $700. Unfortunately, driving to Dallas to...

Well, I am glad it is not just me. I have a pretty steep driveway (not uncommon near the gulf south of Houston) and it hates me backing into my driveway at any speed. I will try adjusting the sensitivity and see if that helps, but it sounds like it is not really a very well sorted system. The...
