    Bed difference

    The 5th generation bed is 3" taller than the 4th generation. A drop in liner for a 4th gen. would be too short top to bottom.

    Interior lights

    They should go off after 10 minutes or so by themselves. I have noticed mine does this when cleaning it. It's part of the battery run down protection.

    Do all Night Editions have Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle?

    I believe they started adding the anti-spin in 2021. My 2019 didn't have it as part of the "black appearance package", which was what the night edition was called back then. The anti-spin was a separate option that cost $495. I am sure of this because I ordered my truck. This 2020 you spoke of...

    Tailgate ajar light

    My 2019 Bighorn has it. It came on once on the interstate and when I pulled over to check, it wasn't fully latched.

    Diamond Black Crystal paint changes color at night with light shined on it!

    The plastic body parts and bumpers are painted on a different line than the main body. They often have a slightly different shade than the rest of the truck. Dodge Challenger owners have complained about this for years.

    Any PDR guys on here?

    I had a small ding fixed in my passenger front door with PDR at a local shop. They used a glue puller device to pull it out, then tapped it down to level it. No drilling required. It cost around $100 and they got it perfect. My truck is black so anything less than perfect would show. I had them...

    Suggestions on what to use on black chrome Borla Tips?

    I have used WD-40 on all kinds of exhaust tips for years. It will remove tar and stains that soapy water will not, and it leaves a protective film.

    Props for the GOOD dealerships!

    My sister lives in the Hershey area and dealt with Ladd Hanford for years. She never had anything bad to say about them. Congratulations on the new truck.

    This Beautiful Li’l Red Express Truck Goes Up For Auction This Weekend!

    A friend of mine bought one new in 1978. I drove it from time to time if he had a few too many (we were 20-21 years old). It was a blast to drive, and sure got the looks. He added headers and glass-packs so it really screamed.

    Intermittent Thump/Thud

    There were threads in the past about a thump caused by gas sloshing around in the tank when not full. It happened when coming to a stop. My 2013 did it whenever it was below half a tank.

    Anti spin or not?

    I owned one pickup without it in the past. If you pull out from a stop in the rain (especially going uphill) you will usually start spinning without the anti -spin. This was if in 2WD, which is most of the time. I would never buy one with the open rear again. The salesman will say it isn't...

    What options are a must and what are a waste?

    Make sure you order the axle ratio you really want. A 3.92 costs around $95 if you order it, but can cost thousands if you decide you need it later. Another thing that has caused many members here a lot of frustration is switching from tow mirrors to standard mirrors after realizing the tow...

    How many miles did your new Ram come with on the odometer

    I just checked the original paperwork. I ordered my truck (my name is on the window sticker) and it had 19 miles when we picked it up in December 2018.

    Anybody Park In a Normal Size Garage?

    Your truck is 232.9" long, which is 19.4 feet. It should fit. You won't have much room in front of it for a workbench, refrigerator, or much else though.

    Registration Fees

    I only pay $190 for a 2 year registration here in PA. We have the 2nd highest gas tax in the country though, so one way or another they get you. Right now 87 octane is around $3.35 around here.

    Gloss black handles on white truck

    Tradesman trucks have black handles. I think the black looks ok, but it gives it that Tradesman look.
